Strapi Provider Upload Azure Storage

Plugin enabling image uploading to azure storage from strapi.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

• Node 10+
• npm 6+
• [email protected]+

Installing

Inside your strapi project run the following

yarn add strapi-provider-upload-azure-storage

# or

npm install strapi-provider-upload-azure-storage

Usage

Strapi version >= 4.0.0

With a stable release of Strapi 4.0.0, the configuration was moved to a JavaScript file. Official documentation here.

To enable the provider, create or edit the file at ./config/plugins.js.

This is an example plugins.js file for Azure storage:

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  upload: {
    config: {
      provider: 'strapi-provider-upload-azure-storage',
      providerOptions: {
        account: env('STORAGE_ACCOUNT'),
        accountKey: env('STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY'),
        serviceBaseURL: env('STORAGE_URL'),
        containerName: env('STORAGE_CONTAINER_NAME'),
        cdnBaseURL: env('STORAGE_CDN_URL'),
        defaultPath: 'assets',
        maxConcurrent: 10
      }
    }
  }
});

Security Middleware Configuration

The default settings in the Strapi Security Middleware block all but local content (you will see (blocked:csp) on media requests in the network tab), you will need to modify the contentSecurityPolicy settings to allow loading of thumbnail previews in the admin panel.

To allow the azure storage content to be displayed, edit the file at ./config/middlewares.js. You should replace the strapi::security string with the object below instead, see the Middlewares configuration documentation for more details.

module.exports = [
  // ...
  {
    name: 'strapi::security',
    config: {
      contentSecurityPolicy: {
        useDefaults: true,
        directives: {
          'connect-src': ["'self'", 'https:'],
          'img-src': ["'self'", 'data:', 'blob:', process.env.STORAGE_URL, process.env.STORAGE_CDN_URL],
          'media-src': ["'self'", 'data:', 'blob:', process.env.STORAGE_URL, process.env.STORAGE_CDN_URL],
          upgradeInsecureRequests: null,
        },
      },
    },
  },
  // ...
];

Notice that STORAGE_URL environment variable has to be set for these settings to work. When you are not using CDN in front of your storage account, you can omit process.env.STORAGE_CDN_URL from the example above.

Strapi version >= 3.0.0 & < 4.0.0

With a stable release of Strapi 3.0.0, the configuration was moved to a JavaScript file. Official documentation.

To enable the provider, create or edit the file at ./config/plugins.js.

This is an example plugins.js file for Azure storage:

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  upload: {
    provider: 'azure-storage',
    providerOptions: {
      account: env('STORAGE_ACCOUNT'),
      accountKey: env('STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY'),
      serviceBaseURL: env('STORAGE_URL'),
      containerName: env('STORAGE_CONTAINER_NAME'),
      cdnBaseURL: env('STORAGE_CDN_URL'),
      defaultPath: 'assets',
      maxConcurrent: 10
    }
  }
});

serviceBaseURL is optional, it is useful when connecting to Azure Storage API compatible services, like the official emulator Azurite. serviceBaseURL would then look like http://localhost:10000/your-storage-account-key.
When serviceBaseURL is not provided, default https://${account}.blob.core.windows.net will be used.

cdnBaseURL is optional, it is useful when using CDN in front of your storage account. Images will be returned with the CDN URL instead of the storage account URL.
