Carrierwave::Flickr

• You want to store images in a fast and highly available storage
• You want photos to be publicly available in the Internet

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'carrierwave-flickr'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install carrierwave-flickr

Put these lines in your carriervawe initializer

CarrierWave.configure do |config|
  config.flickr_credentials = {
    key: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    secret: 'YOUR_SECRET',
    oauth_token: 'YOUR_TOKEN',
    oauth_token_secret: 'YOUR_TOKEN_SECRET'

This library uses flickraw under the hood. See its Authentication section to obtain secret and token

If you want all photos to be stored in a specific album you can specify it

CarrierWave.configure do |config|
  config.flickr_credentials = {
    ...
    album: 'YOUR_ALBUM_ID'
  }
end

If you want to store photo sizes configure the column where to put them

CarrierWave.configure do |config|
  config.store_flickr_photo_sizes = :sizes
end

To get an URL to the photo of a different format you can use

  avatar.image.url(format: :square)
