Today we’re going to talk about how to setup Google Cloud Storage to host images on your Rails app. This builds from my experience hosting pictures for Uff! a Ruby on Rails web app to discover street artists.
Uff Home Screen — With Active Storage + Google Cloud
Active Storage Setup — Quick Reminder
You need to have Active Storage in place for Google Cloud Storage to work. If you don’t have Active Storage installed make sure you do rails active_storage:install and rake db:migrate so you can get the Active Storage tables for file management as well as the storage.yml configuration file that will be essential for Google Cloud Storage (GCS) integration.
