Storing attachments in a different manner would certainly help organisations using Wekan self-hosted. The last thing they want is to have data stored in many places. In my mind AWS and GDrive would be the most applicable places to store and they're both supported by the "files" package

Link Card to Object Storage Bucket or SMB Directory

Hello all, first time posting here, so be gentle!

In lieu of attaching files into the actual WEKAN cards, it would be fantastic if we could somehow place a thumbnail image of an object in a network location or object-storage bucket. Even better would be if the Card could show the contents of a Bucket or file directory and allow the user to open said files from the Card. This is very similar to how Trello can embed Google Drive.

I've been experimenting with (SMB "Samba", OpenstackSwift, S3, etc. This would really help with team collaboration. A custom field could work to send users to the Bucket via an HTML link, but it doesn't allow for links to SMB type directories.

By having integration with a Swift or S3 type object storage system, redundancy can be handled at the infrastructure level vice the container level.

I have some experience with Openstack and Minio and could support on that end, I'm just not very strong with code development (yet).

Any thoughts on this?

@xet7 it could be highly useful to use https://uppy.io

Very nice documentation, great features, and supports multiple backends. Can be integrated with Meteor server through the WebApp connect.

How it's different from https://atmospherejs.com/malibun23/files ?

I don't find at uppy website any support for GridFS, where currently all Wekan attachments are saved. So it seems I can't use uppy. malibun23/files seems to have GridFS.

@xet7 I thought the idea was to move away from GridFS? Either way, if the other works then no need to use Uppy

There needs to be ability to read existing Wekan attachments from GridFS to be able to move them to other storage. If I remember correctly, somewhere at malibun23/files docs is some storage migration guide.

@xet7 this hasn't been completed yet, has it? is there any reason, other than a lack of time/priority?

The current implementation on [#3273] is just a special implementation of a storage backend towards GridFS MongoDB Buckets.

With the same strategy, those can be stored anywhere given a connector is provided. See for example here. I'd assume, storing to file system is as simple as not deleting the uploaded files and not storing them into a specific backend.

@blaggacao thanks for such a quick reply, btw, what do you think about another idea: given there's already a self-hosted minio and some images inside - can we just render direct img src= to the direct location, i.e. not uploading twice, but specifying the link?

Yes the download location of ostrio:files is configurable. Upload goes through meteor, though. With upload comes the proper initialization of the image reference in the mongo database. So

given there's already a self-hosted minio and some images inside

would be rather awkward to support. Though nothing speaks against using a self hosted minion and populate it through wekan uploads.

Here is where a hook intercepts the upload and stores it into the back-end (and deletes the uploaded files):
