Michael Vorburger commented on FINERACT-955:
--------------------------------------------
I'm linking this to Blocking FINERACT-932, because the following error appears
on https://www.fineract.dev logs, and is, of course, related to this:
{noformat}java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Access key cannot be null.

BTW: It appears that by default by have the {{S3ContentRepository}} enabled
somehow somewhere? That seems wrong, to me... the code shouldn't be hard-coded
to assume AWS, agreed? IMHO by default we should have a NOOP implementation of
{{ContentRepository}}, and then have a configuration property to choose between
a {{java.io.File}} based one (which we already have, as far as I know), and the
AWS {{S3ContentRepository}} and a new Google GCS one to be written for this
issue.
[~xurror] or [~Percy Ashu] or [~awasum] (or [~ptuomola]) I'm sure you all have
enough on your plate already, but if / when you are looking for something...
this could be a "fun" thing to work on, some day? Perhaps later during, or even
after, your GSOC.
I'm aslo adding the _beginner_ label to this one, on the off chance that
someone new to the project would like to pick this up...

> Project: Apache Fineract
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Michael Vorburger
> Priority: Major
> Labels: beginner

> Similarly to S3ContentRepository, a {{ContentRepository}} for Google Cloud
> Storage (GCS) could be useful, for FINERACT-786, and I would use it on
> https://www.fineract.dev.
> It may actually even be possible to use the S3 API, but a GCS native
> implementation is probably smoother and easier to use. One thing in
> particular I'm hoping for is that it could pick up the required
> authentication when running on GCloud automatically from some service account
> environment variables which as far as I know are present there; it would be
> nice, if possible, if there was no need, or as little as possible, need for
> additional configuration parameters.
