CarrierWave for Riak

This gem adds storage support for Riak to CarrierWave

This module should work for basic uploads, but hasn't been tested with all features of carrierrwave and is very new. The code was initially based on carrierwave-upyun but also uses ideas taken from the built in Fog storage provider.

gem install carrierwave-riak

gem 'riak-client'
gem 'carrierwave-riak', :require => "carrierwave/riak"

You'll need to configure the Riak client in config/initializers/carrierwave.rb

CarrierWave.configure do |config|
  config.storage = :riak
  config.riak_host = 'localhost'
  config.riak_port = 8098
end

or, if you use claster of nodes

CarrierWave.configure do |config|
  config.storage = :riak
  config.riak_nodes = [
    { host: "127.0.0.1", http_port: 8098 }, 
    { host: "127.0.0.1", http_port: 8099 }
  ]
end

Note that for your uploader, your should extend the CarrierWave::Uploader::Riak class.

class DocumentUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Riak

    # If key method is not defined, Riak generated keys will be used and returned as the identifier

    def key
        original_filename
    end

    def bucket
      "my_bucket"
    end
end

Because the orm record is saved before the storage object is, the orm record needs to be updated after saving to storage if a Riak generated key is to be used as the identifier. The CarrierWave::Uploader::Riak class defines an :after callback to facilitate this. This only works for ActiveRecord and is likely pretty hacky. Maybe someone can suggest a better way to deal with this.
