Setting up Google authentication

1. In the GCP Console, go to the Create service account key page..
   • Go to the create service account key page
2. From the Service account list, select New service account.
3. In the Service account name field, enter a name.

5. Select JSON for Key Type
6. Click Create. A JSON file that contains your key downloads to your computer.

Setting up the a configuration file

You will find below many examples of configurations, for each example :

1. Copy the full content of the downloaded JSON file
2. Open the configuration file
3. Paste it into the "Service Account JSON" field (as string or JSON, be careful with indentation)
4. Set the bucketName field and replace Bucket-name by yours previously create
5. Default baseUrl is working, but you can replace it by yours (if you use a custom baseUrl)
6. Save the configuration file
7. Enjoy !

Example with one configuration for all environments (dev/stage/prod)

./extensions/upload/config/settings.json

{
  "provider": "google-cloud-storage",
  "providerOptions": {
    "serviceAccount": "<Your serviceAccount JSON object/string here>",
    "bucketName": "Bucket-name",
    "baseUrl": "https://storage.googleapis.com/{bucket-name}"
  }
}

Example with environment variable

./extensions/upload/config/settings.json

{
  "provider": "google-cloud-storage",
  "providerOptions": {
    "serviceAccount": "${process.env.GCS_SERVICE_ACCOUNT || <Your serviceAccount JSON object/string here>}",
    "bucketName": "${process.env.GCS_BUCKET_NAME || Bucket-name}",
    "baseUrl": "${process.env.GCS_BASE_URL || https://storage.googleapis.com/{bucket-name}}"
  }
}

You can rename the environment variables as you like. All variable are optional, you can setting up only bucketName if you need to change only the bucketName.

Example with multi configuration multi upload : one by environment (dev/stage/prod)

./extensions/upload/config/settings.js

const stagingProviderOptions = {
  serviceAccount: '<Your serviceAccount JSON object/string here>', // json configuration
  bucketName: 'Bucket-name', // name of the bucket
  baseUrl: 'https://storage.googleapis.com/{bucket-name}',
}

const productionProviderOptions = {
  serviceAccount: '<Your serviceAccount JSON object/string here>', // json configuration
  bucketName: 'Bucket-name', // name of the bucket
  baseUrl: 'https://storage.googleapis.com/{bucket-name}',
}

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  module.exports = {
    provider: 'google-cloud-storage',
    providerOptions: productionProviderOptions,
  }
} else if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'staging') {
  module.exports = {
    provider: 'google-cloud-storage',
    providerOptions: stagingProviderOptions,
  }
} else {
  module.exports = {
    provider: 'local',
  }
}

Overriding uploadProvider config with gcs key in Strapi custom config

Contents of gcs key in Strapi custom config, if set, will be merged over ./extensions/upload/config/settings.json,

./config/custom.json (config items set here will be merged over, overriding config set at ./extensions/upload/config/settings.json)

{
  "gcs": {
    "serviceAccount": "<Your serviceAccount JSON object/string here>",
    "bucketName": "Bucket-name",
    "baseUrl": "https://storage.googleapis.com/{bucket-name}"
  }
}

./config/environments/<development|staging|production>/custom.json (config items set here will be merged over and override the previous ones)

{
  "gcs": {
    "serviceAccount": "<Your serviceAccount JSON object/string here>",
    "bucketName": "Bucket-name",
    "baseUrl": "https://storage.googleapis.com/{bucket-name}"
  }
}
