Plinth.Storage
A framework for reliably and securely storing large binary objects (BLOBs)
Provides a framework for abstracting storage of large objects/files. Supports storing the data in a database, on the file system, AWS S3, or Azure Blobs. An index table is maintained in the database with references to the underlying data storage. Also supports encryption and compression if desired.
- Plinth.Storage - the main engine, supports database and file system storage
- Plinth.Storage.MsSql - Install this when using Microsoft SQL Server for the index
- Plinth.Storage.PgSql - Install this when using PostgreSQL for the index
- Plinth.Storage.AWS - Install for AWS S3 support
- Plinth.Storage.Azure - Install for Azure Blob support
Example setting up Blob Storage to write to S3 with Encryption (Startup.cs)
// Startup.cs in ConfigureServices
ISecureData secureData = new SecureData(key);
var factory = new StorageFactory(secureData, BlobFeatures.Encrypted);
factory.AddS3Provider(new S3Settings()
{
BucketName = "my-bucket",
ClientId = "...",
ClientSecret = "...",
S3Url = "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com"
});
factory.SetDefaultWriteProviderAsS3();
services.AddSingleton(factory);
In controller or manager with ISqlConnection and StorageFactory as injected or created parameters
var blobStorage = storageFactory.Get(connection, callingUser);
var blob = await blobStorage.ReadBlobAsync(blobGuid);
var newBlob = new Blob() { ... }
var newBlobGuid = await blobStorage.CreateNewBlobAsync(newBlob);
