arc_rackspace's Introduction

Arc Rackspace

Arc Rackspace provides an Arc storage back-end for Rackspace.

WARNING: This is a development version: It contains the latest changes, but may also have several known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.

Installation

Add the latest stable release to your mix.exs file:

defp deps do
  [
    arc_rackspace: "~> 0.0.3"
  ]
end

You must also add arc_rackspace as startup dependencies your application's mix.exs file:

def application do
  [mod: {MyApp, []},
   applications: [:phoenix, :phoenix_pubsub, :phoenix_html, :cowboy, :logger, :gettext,
                 :phoenix_ecto, :postgrex, :arc_rackspace]]
end

Then run mix deps.get in your shell to fetch the dependencies.

Configuration

To store your attachments in Rackspace Cloud Files, you'll need to provide a bucket destination in your application config:

config :arc,
  storage: Arc.Storage.Rackspace,
  rackspace_container_name: 'default',
  rackspace_cdn_url: 'http://XYZ.r54.cf3.rackcdn.com/'

In addition, Rackspace must be configured with the appropriate credentials.

config :rackspace, :api,
  api_key:  "xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  username: "yyyyyyyyyyyyy",
  password: "zzzzzzzzzzzzz"

Connection to Rackspace API's will require your username and either your account password, or your account api key. It is recommended that you use the api key which can be obtained by logging into your Rackspace account.

You probably want to load the private key from an ENV variable rather than hard-code it the config.
