I have created the Azure Blob Storage plugin as part of my Outreachy internship with Discourse. It allows storing uploads into the Azure Blob storage.
Azure account
- If you don’t have an Azure account yet, create one for free
- In your Microsoft Azure portal, go to Storage account and add a new account - make sure to select Blob storage under Account kind
- Go over to your newly created storage account and find Containers in the settings. Add a container into which uploads should be stored and set the public access level to Blob.
- Find Access keys in the storage account settings to fill in later when configuring Discourse.
Discourse configuration
- Install the plugin with the help of instructions here: Install a Plugin
- Go to Admin Settings -> Plugins, fill in the storage account name, access key and container name (cdn is optional) and enable the plugin
- That’s it! Uploads should be stored into Azure Blob from now on.
Note: The plugin has yet to be thoroughly tested, I’d be happy if you give it a go and report any potential problems.
