MyTardis with Swift (OpenStack Object Store)?

[Andy Tseng]

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering what is the current status regarding the use of OpenStack's Swift with MyTardis?
I found a post (dated in 2012) where Steve A. had suggested that object storage support is being considered for development and I would like to find out if it is possible to do so now?

Cheers,

Andy

Hi Andy

This is sort of done using my newest branch https://github.com/grischa/mytardis/tree/enhanced_storage_backend which has a new storage backend.

To use a single Swift container for your whole installation, you can just use this: https://github.com/wecreatepixels/django-storage-swift/

For different containers you'd need to do some further development. Happy to guide you if you want to do that.

Beware this is pretty new storage code and may have issues, but I'll fix them immediately if you find any.

Let us know how you go. We are also interested in having this working, so happy to help out.

Cheers

Thanks Grischa for your quick reply. 

I'll have a look at the link you provided and try to set up a test server to see how it works.

Ideally, I'd like to user multiple Swift containers with MyTardis to facilitate different projects. 

I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Thanks,

Andy
