azure blob storage not working,

[kamaldua65]

I have set fileStrategy: "azure_blob" added AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING, AZURE_STORAGE_PUBLIC_ACCESS=true etc.
even tried making blob storage with annonymus access but files are always stored on host. Any advise ( hosting on azure vm with ubuntu)

We are seeing similar issues. Generated Images make it to the Azure Storage, but LibreChat cannot retrieve them as it still thinks they are on the host. Uploaded files are going directly to the host as well.

Not seeing this on my end. In the case of OCR/RAG, the files are actually discarded no matter what the strategy is, as they get transformed then live in MongoDB/PostgresQL respectively:

For generated images, you can see it in being referenced from my azure blob storage:

Similarly with attached images:

It would be helpful to note where this is being seen on the "host" to understand better what is being reported.

When generating the image, the file successfully saves to azure_blob and is accessible from the docker container hosting LibreChat. However, the generated image never shows in the chat where the image was requested and if you look in my files, there is no preview for the file and the storage location says "host". I'm unable to attach screenshots at this time, but will update once I can. Below is a copy of what the database shows for the file.

This just means your blob storage URL is not accessible. It will always say "Host" on the frontend.

We can see it pointing to the expected path here:

filepath
"https://xxxxxx.blob.core.windows.net/files/images/6846d8a68a…"

Thanks for the clarification on the frontend. I'll enable some additional logging on the blob and see if I can understand what's happening with it when it tries to read from the blob.
