Working good on V3.1.4 with 25 GB Free account

Thanks for your work and your plugin

-- But I have several question :

Your plugin work on nodeBB 2.X or not ?
Once the 25 GB is used, what happens?
If we stop using Storj, will the images still be available and visible on the forum? If so, with or without the plugin?
After upgrade, It's needed to reconfigure in ndex.js file or not?
Maybe have an acp .tpl to configure plugin it's better?
Plugin compatible with other provider or not ?
When will this plugin be tracked and maintained with future versions of NodeBB ?

Might work, but I don't have version 2 to test..

Once the 25 GB is used, what happens?

It is necessary to read the information on the provider website: https://docs.storj.io/dcs/concepts/limits
I think when you reach the limits, you simply won't be able to upload new files.

If we stop using Storj, will the images still be available and visible on the forum? If so, with or without the plugin?

Images was available if you remove plugin.

After upgrade, It's needed to reconfigure in ndex.js file or not?

When you upgrade a forum - no, when you upgrade this plugin - yes.

Maybe have an acp .tpl to configure plugin it's better?

Yes, but I'm not that smart yet. I won't refuse help

Plugin compatible with other provider or not ?

I configured it to work with Storj. You can modify this plugin to work with other providers.

When will this plugin be tracked and maintained with future versions of NodeBB ?

I use this plugin myself, so I will try to keep it compatible with new forum releases.

It's a shame indeed, but it's happening. Just have to think about it.
Believe me, if I will be able to help you put all the Storj account information like in the S3 plugin (when it was working) via an ACP config page, I would.

To see if developers like @baris would be interested in improving this plugin (ACP configuration and several providers) since there is only your plugin that works on nodeBB v3

Thank you for your work and your answer.

Are you french ?

brazzerstop

@torn2 Yes, the plugin is still working

So to install this [nodebb-plugin-storj-upload] I can do it via dashboard?

brazzerstop

@cat No, this is not my plugin, looks like a fork...

To install my you need use this command:

npm install ferumdev/nodebb-plugin-storj-upload

and next set this values in file index.js

"your access key";
"your secret access key";
"your bucket name";
"your access grant key";

cat

Just to be clear,. it's this index.js file located here right?

And only those 4 lines that are marked with "your ..."

This is what I have done so far,

npm install ferumdev/nodebb-plugin-storj-upload
modifiy index.js and fill my details
On my Admin panel, Find the plugin, activate it, rebuild and restart.

And got it working, turned out there was something wrong with my access grant, I retry and make a new one, it works.

Now just to be safe, before I apply it on my remote server, that remote server already have the old nodebb-plugin-imgur that I install it through Admin panel. I just need to Deactivate -> Uninstall ->Rebuild, then do the exact method to install storj?

It's seems a bug from Storj, on the official Storj community you can found recommendation use a last browser version, when you create new bucket, change api key or when you set grant access for you're key (read/remove/directory listing and etc)

You can only disable imgur plugin and next rebuild forum

cat

Anyone know what caused this?

Didn't happen before, it's just a png picture

DownPW

What IS this screen ?

I know malwarebytes have considered Storj as domain malware because a person used Storj to host malware.
I contacted them and warned them and they resolved the problem on the malwarebytes forum. I will find the link tomorrow.

but if the file is hosted on your Storj account, it is problematic and it would be better to contact them directly

brazzerstop

@cat Yes, the Storj have this problem with anti-malware filters The temporary solution a manually add Storj link to whitelist on youre program or like alternative use proxy domain (mirror) for Storj link.

I don't know if I'm in the right place @brazzerstop @baris
My apologies in advance

I'm trying to upload a gif file to NodeBB using this plugin.
Spec file : 1622 x 1011px - 3.03 Mo

I enabled the gif extension in ACP and raised the size limits but I still got a 413 error when uploading

If you have suggestion, I take it

Thanks

julian

I don't think we send 413s, might be coming from storj

DownPW

I'll try to look in that direction in the meantime.

<baris>

413 is nginx entity too large error I think, you need to increase it in ngix config.

Try adding client_max_body_size 6M; to your nginx config.

DownPW

OK thank you @baris Test ASAP
