This sample demonstrates how to use Google Cloud Storage on Google App Engine Flexible Environment.

Before you can run or deploy the sample, you will need to do the following:

1. Enable the Cloud Storage API in the Google Developers Console.

2. Create a Cloud Storage Bucket. You can do this with the Google Cloud SDK with the following command:

    $ gsutil mb gs://[your-bucket-name]
   

3. Set the default ACL on your bucket to public read in order to serve files directly from Cloud Storage. You can do this with the Google Cloud SDK with the following command:

    $ gsutil defacl set public-read gs://[your-bucket-name]
   

4. Update the environment variables in app.yaml.

Refer to the top-level README for instructions on running and deploying.

When running locally, you can use the Google Cloud SDK to provide authentication to use Google Cloud APIs:

$ gcloud init

Then set environment variables before starting your application:

$ export CLOUD_STORAGE_BUCKET=[your-bucket-name]
$ python main.py
