Configure Active Storage

[dcollie2]

Description

Our approach to storage is one of the key unresolved parts of our requirements. The current application uses Azure storage. It also appears to store all media in folders based on the name of the language. The XML the Pi apps retrieves contains file names for the stored media.

The stakeholders have found Azure storage to be expensive. They are open to alternatives.

The structure, with the files stored in folders based on the language, might be a solid requirement or it may not be.

With these questions unresolved, for now we can choose S3 or Azure for our development purposes. If we can manage using Active Storage to keep all the uploaded files in one bucket in line with their requirements, we can go that route. If not, for our immediate purposes we should get storage set up normally and plan to refactor once we have worked out the details with the stakeholders.

See the Media Storage and Integration requirements.

Tasks

• Install and configure Active Storage
• Set up local storage for development

Where do we get S3 account, for example, for development purposes?

We finished this issue, just we don't added configuration S3 or Azure (gem also)

We have resolution on the questions now.

The stakeholders have agreed that switching from Azure to another provider will be a separate effort after SkillRX has launched. In the meantime we will be using their existing Azure storage.

They will provide us with credentials.

Our deliverable will be management of their files in the current structure. The downstream systems in the field cannot easily be reconfigured, so the paths and structure are a solid constraint.

I will update the requirements and tasks to reflect these decisions.

Closed by #55.

A separate task will cover Azure setup.
