File Uploader

A simple file-upload service built with Shoal and Google Cloud Storage. This blueprint demonstrates how to deploy a containerized application, expose it through a Shoal gateway, and connect it to a private bucket for storing uploaded files.

Features

• Upload files through an HTTP endpoint
• Store uploaded files in a Google Cloud Storage bucket
• Keep bucket access private and restricted to the application
• Deploy the service as a container
• Expose the application through a Shoal gateway

Architecture

The blueprint contains:

• Container - Runs the file-upload application.
• Bucket - Stores uploaded files.
• Gateway - Routes incoming HTTP requests to the container.
• Bucket connection - Provides the bucket configuration to the application at runtime.

Getting Started

1. Deploy this blueprint in a Shoal environment.
2. Wait for the deployment to complete.
3. Open the gateway URL provided by Shoal.
4. Use the upload form or send a request to the upload endpoint.

Example using curl:

curl -X POST \\
  -F "file=@example.txt" \\
  https://YOUR_GATEWAY_URL/upload
