blobstore_client

Ruby client for Blobstores

Copyright (c) 2009-2013 VMware, Inc.

Lets BOSH access multiple blobstores using a unified API.

Usage

bin/blobstore_client_console [<options>]
    -p, --provider PROVIDER Bosh Blobstore provider
    -c, --config FILE       Bosh Blobstore configuration file

Console

To explore the client API for accessing a blobstore, try creating and using a local blobstore:

$ gem install blobstore_client
$ blobstore_client_console -p local -c config/local.yml.example
=> Welcome to BOSH blobstore client console
You can use 'bsc' to access blobstore client methods
> bsc.create("this is a test blob")
=> "ef00746b-21ec-4473-a888-bf257cb7ea21"
> bsc.get("ef00746b-21ec-4473-a888-bf257cb7ea21")
=> "this is a test blob"
> bsc.exists?("ef00746b-21ec-4473-a888-bf257cb7ea21")
=> true
> Dir['/tmp/local_blobstore/**']
=> ["/tmp/local_blobstore/ef00746b-21ec-4473-a888-bf257cb7ea21"]
> bsc.delete("ef00746b-21ec-4473-a888-bf257cb7ea21")
=> true

Configuration

These options are passed to the Bosh Blobstore client when it is instantiated.

• blobstore_path (required) Path for the blobstore

Simple

These are the options for the Blobstore client when provider is simple:

• endpoint (required) Blobstore endpoint
• user (optional) Blobstore User
• password (optional) Blobstore Password
• bucket (optional, by default resources) Name of the bucket

Amazon S3

These are the options for the Blobstore client when provider is s3:

• bucket_name (required) Name of the S3 bucket
• encryption_key (optional) Encryption_key that is applied before the object is sent to S3
• credentials_source (optional) Where to get AWS credentials. This can be set to static for to use an access_key_id and secret_access_key or env_or_profile to get the credentials from environment variables or an EC2 instance profile. Defaults to static if not set.
• access_key_id (optional, if not present and credentials_source is static, the blobstore client operates in read only mode) S3 Access Key
• secret_access_key (optional, if not present and credentials_source is static, the blobstore client operates in read only mode) S3 Secret Access Key
