An upload plugin for NodeBB to use Azure Storage Blob Serivce as file storage backend which also supports CDN endpoint.

This plugin won't create the Container. Before use this, you should create a container in blob service.

ACL should be set to Blob or Container ( not recommended ), or forum users can't access the file.

export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT="xxxxx"
# this is your azure storage account
export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY="yyyyy"
# this is your azure storage key
export AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER="zzzz"
# this is your azure storage blob service container name
export AZURE_STORAGE_HOSTNAME="host"
# if you need to specify a different hostname, for example: CDN usage, set it with domain name, or leave it empty
# required http:// or https://
export AZURE_STORAGE_PATH="path"
# if you need to specify a path where all files will be put into, just like /assets, set it.
# url returned will be appended with this path, too
# prepend /

Not Recommended

You can set it from Admin Panel, but it's not recommended, because storage account and key will be stored in plain text, and all admins can check it from admin panel.

Settings from database is top priority.

All files uploaded will be renamed. For example, somepicture-iob0ucoj.png.

If you want to make it convenient to manage, it can be found in library.js and function uploadToAzureStorage.
