Cloud storage

Fabricates stores uploaded and generated data in cloud storage. You can use either:

• Amazon S3 (or any other Amazon S3-compatible storage)

• Azure Blob Storage

• Google Cloud Storage

• Cloudflare R2

• Backblaze B2

Identifying the cloud storage platform

To indicate which cloud storage platform to use, in .env, set the following environment variable:

FABRICATE_BLOCK_STORAGE_SERVICE=("amazon", "azure", or "google")

S3 bucket

To use Amazon S3 to store generated data, in .env, set:

FABRICATE_BLOCK_STORAGE_SERVICE="amazon"

To set up the S3 bucket:

1. Create an S3 bucket in the AWS Region closest to where Fabricate will run. We recommend that you set the bucket name to fabricate.

2. To enable Fabricate to upload files to this S3 bucket, either:

   • In .env, configure FABRICATE_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and FABRICATE_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.

   • Assign an IAM role to the EC2 instances on which Fabricate runs. The role must be able to write to the S3 bucket. For information on how to do this, go to Enable S3 access from EC2 by IAM role.

3. In .env, set:

FABRICATE_S3_BUCKET=  #name of the S3 bucket
FABRICATE_AWS_REGION=  # AWS Region where the S3 bucket is located.
                       # Also used when the Claude LLM provider is Amazon Bedrock.

# Either set these or assign an IAM role to the Fabricate EC2 instances
FABRICATE_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=  # Access key for the AWS account
FABRICATE_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=  # Secret access key for the AWS account

Azure Blob Storage

To use Azure Blob Storage to store generated data, in .env, set:

FABRICATE_BLOCK_STORAGE_SERVICE="azure"

To configure the storage location and credentials, set:

FABRICATE_AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME=  # Name of the Azure account
FABRICATE_AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY=  # Access key for the Azure account
FABRICATE_AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER=  # Path to the Azure storage container to use

Google Cloud Storage

To use Google Cloud Storage to store generated data, in .env, set:

FABRICATE_BLOCK_STORAGE_SERVICE="google"

To configure the storage location and credentials, set:

FABRICATE_GCS_PROJECT=  # Name of the Google Cloud Storage project to use
FABRICATE_GCS_CREDENTIALS=  # Credentials to connect to the project
FABRICATE_GCS_BUCKET=  # Name of the bucket to use within the project
