azureblob/azureblob

Sometimes you just need to browse your blob storage, therefor I created a simple PHP tool that just does that.

AzureBlob

Introduction

AzureBlob is a tool that allows you to manage blob storage containers and files on Microsoft Azure Blob Storage. It allows you to simply create and remove containers, upload, update or remove files for your PHP applications.

Simplicity is key, so we use Silex with Twig templates to provide a front-end. In the background we use a simple wrapper AzureBlob class that will proxy everything through to WindowsAzure SDK for PHP.

All dependencies are loaded through Composer.

Web Frontend

You can try it out yourself by visiting azureblob.azurewebsites.net. You need to have already an existing Azure Blob Storage configured on Microsoft Azure. If you're interested in trying it out, sign up for a free trial at Microsoft Azure.

Roadmap

• Implement proper validation
• Implement Redis Caching for session data

azureblob's Issues

Create initial functionality for adding a blob object

Create initial functionality for adding a blob object

Cannot remove a property from an WATS

I tried to remove a wrongly entered table property, but I couldn't

Use Windows Azure caching

Distributed caching is a big advantage when working with cloud infrastructures

Create interface for tables

WATS provides an alternative way to store data

Fetch a list of containers

Fetch a list of containers for a given Windows Azure Blob Storage account

Include the WindowsAzure library

Include the whole WindowsAzure library so it's available even if you don't have access to PEAR installations

Create unit tests

A project is not finished if no tests are available

Create initial functionality for removing a blob object

Create initial functionality for removing a blob object

Create initial functionality for listing the blob objects

Create initial functionality for listing the blob objects

Create a single class that provides basic blob functionalities

Create a single class that provides basic blob functionalities:

• list blob objects in a specified container
• add/update a blob object in a specified container
• remove a blob object from a specified container

Remove hard coded baseURL

In the code it still has the hard coded baseURL. It should be removed so it can run on any server

Create a nice design

A nice design is always more appealing

When switching to another container, the blob is not accessible

For some reason when uploading an image, the following error popped up. It occurs rarely.

Error:

<Error>
  <Code>ResourceNotFound</Code>
  <Message>
    The specified resource does not exist. RequestId:4cee3c07-695d-471c-a61b-e38e3cc731b2 Time:2012-0626T12:56:03.1727466Z
  </Message>
</Error>```

Detect mime-types correctly during upload

At this current point in time we can upload all kinds of binaries, but it would be great if we could detect the mime-type during upload and add it as meta data to the uploaded file.

Add functionality to remove an existing container

Create interface for queues

WAQS allows you to provide queuing for your application.
