Plinth.Storage.Azure

Storage Provider for Plinth.Storage to write blob data to Azure Blob Storage

Enables storing the blob data used by Plinth.Storage in Azure Blob Storage

This package adds these extension methods to Plinth.Storage.StorageFactory to utilize Azure Blob Storage

storageFactory.AddAzureBlobProvider(new AzureBlobSettings() { ConnectionString = "{from-azure-portal}", ContainerName = "MyBlobs" }); storageFactory.SetDefaultWriteProviderAsAzureBlob();

Index Strategies

By default, this will write blobs to the root of the container. There are 2 other built in options for futher segmenting the blobs. To use these, set DefaultIndexStrategy in AzureBlobSettings

DefaultIndexStrategy.ByDate This will place the blobs in a sub folder with the current date as /YY/MM/DD/{blobId}

DefaultIndexStrategy.ByDateTime This will place the blobs in a sub folder with the current date and current hour as /YY/MM/DD/HH/{blobId}

Backup Container

By default, blobs will be written to the container specified. This library supports writing a backup to a second container. To enable, supply BackupContainerName in AzureBlobSettings and each write will write to both containers.

Also supported is writing the backup to an entirely different storage account. To enable, supply BackupConnectionString in AzureBlobSettings and the backup will be written to the alternate account.

File Extensions

By default, the blobs will a file extension in blob storage which come from the blob name field. This allows for browsers to more easily download those files directly. To disable this, set DisableBlobExtensions to true in AzureBlobSettings and the blobs will not have a file extension.
