Vercel Blob alternative when developing locally?
Vercel Blob is in private beta and is not open to everyone.
It is a restriction when you want to contribute and you don't have access to it.
Is there a way to store documents locally without the need for Vercel blob?
That’s a good point, @dephraiim. There are certainly alternatives but not yet compatible with the vercel blob API.
Would need to build a separate exception for local dev.
I can imagine adding minio for local development. https://github.com/minio/minio
Adding it together with postgres with docker will be an good approach for easier development
Totally agree. Do you want to give this a try or else I can see when I get to it.
@dephraiim @HunnySajid the vercel team is opening up the waitlist for vercel blob this week. Make sure you are on it: #42
I actually found https://github.com/minio/minio, if Vercel Blob has the same API as S3, MinIO will be compactible for development
Can we use something like https://github.com/initeshjain/golang-ftp-server here? We can toggle dev/prod from a .env file and use fetch calls to upload files.
Interesting proposal @initeshjain i don't know this tool. I'll have a look
I have written this code 2 days back and open sourced it. It is simple ftp server written in golang. Also, we can have vercel blob storage response like format for this tool as well.
