Use Google Cloud Storage bucket for storing file storage

Troubleshooting

I’ve installed Mattermost with the latest binary (7.8.0) successfully. Is there anyway to use GCP bucket instead of S3/local as the file storage?

Hi @RobertP and welcome to the Mattermost forums!

a GCP bucket is also accessible via S3, isn’t it? Did you already try to integrate it and if so, what problems did you face?

Hey! Great to hear you’ve got Mattermost set up! Yes, you can use a GCP bucket for file storage instead of S3 or local storage.

To do this, you’ll need to configure Mattermost to point to your Google Cloud Storage bucket. Here’s a quick overview of how to set it up:

  1. Create a GCP Bucket: In your Google Cloud Console, create a new bucket and set the permissions according to your needs.
  2. Service Account: Create a service account with the appropriate permissions to access the bucket, and download the JSON key file.
  3. Mattermost Configuration: In your Mattermost configuration file (config.json), set the storage driver to gcs and provide the necessary credentials and bucket name.

For additional storage options, you might also want to check out TeraBox. It offers easy file management and a generous amount of free space (up to 1TB). You can upload files directly to TeraBox and access them from anywhere. If you don’t know how to use terabox account plz watch tutorials from youtube.

Let me know if you need more help with either Mattermost or TeraBox!
