Tracking issue RE: Paperclip, Azure EOL, rest client, etc about mastodon HOT 7 OPEN

Maybe relevant - rails/rails#49983 (comment) - someone is working on a replacement gem for azure/activestorage which sounds like it will implement just the subset of the Azure REST API that is needed by AS.

This might be good to either use directly or build a paperclip adapter on top of.

I would need to look at kt-paperclip after I am done with AS, I could look into making the gem work for paperclip too. I don't think it would be hard to support both 🤔
I might need to find a more generic name for the gem though 😆

@JoeDupuis I have not looked at your code yet, but maybe you could have a gem that implements the required Azure API calls (simple-azure-storage?), and a second one to interface it with AS (simple-azure-storage-activestorage), and we build our own simple-azure-storage-paperclip?

I renamed the Gem to azure-blob-storage. It's pretty close to azure-storage-blob. It might change again if Rails core think it's a problem.
Nothing in it make it specific to Active Storage.

After discussing it internally, I will be renaming it to azure-blob later tonight. It's too close to the existing gem name.
Sorry for the flip flop.

It should make it easier to use too (shorter namespace).

from mastodon.

Done, I've renamed the gem:
https://github.com/JoeDupuis/azure-blob
https://rubygems.org/gems/azure-blob
