gcs-helper

gcs-helper is inspired by s3-helper and is used to provide access to private GCS buckets.

It's intended to be deployed along with Kaltura's nginx-vod-module.

It also provides the needed support for the mapped mode (when using the proper environment variables - GCS_HELPER_PROXY_PREFIX, GCS_HELPER_MAP_PREFIX and GCS_HELPER_MAP_EXTENSIONS).

Configuration

The following environment variables control the behavior of gcs-helper:

Variable	Default value	Required	Description
GCS_HELPER_LISTEN	:8080	No	Address to bind the server
GCS_HELPER_BUCKET_NAME		Yes	Name of the bucket
GCS_HELPER_LOG_LEVEL	debug	No	Logging level
GCS_HELPER_PROXY_PREFIX		No	Prefix to use for the proxy binding. Required if running in map and proxy modes (example value: /proxy/)
GCS_HELPER_MAP_PREFIX		No	Prefix to use for the map binding. Required if running in map and proxy modes (example value: /map/)
GCS_HELPER_MAP_EXTENSIONS		No	Comma separated list of extensions to include in the mapping (example value: .mp4,.vtt,.srt)
