| 1 This directory contains an example app ("cloudreader") that runs in the |
| 2 Python version of the Google App Engine, accessing Google storage via the |
| 3 Google-modified version of the boto open source Python library. |
| 4 |
| 5 To install and try the cloudreader app, take the following steps: |
| 6 |
| 7 1. The current code assumes you are already familiar with Google |
| 8 App Engine, and have it installed. If that's not true, start at |
| 9 http://code.google.com/appengine/ |
| 10 |
| 11 In the remainder of these instructions, we assume you have gsutil unpacked |
| 12 in /usr/local/gsutil, and Google App Engine installed at /usr/local/google_appen
gine |
| 13 |
| 14 2. Copy the boto and cloudreader code into the google_appengine directory: |
| 15 % cp -pr /usr/local/gsutil/cloudreader /usr/local/google_appengine |
| 16 % cp -pr /usr/local/gsutil/boto/boto /usr/local/google_appengine/cloudreade
r |
| 17 |
| 18 3. Edit cloudreader/boto.cfg to contain the keys you received from Google |
| 19 (and Amazon, if you also want to use those keys): |
| 20 % vim /usr/local/google_appengine/cloudreader/boto.cfg |
| 21 (or use your favorite text editor) |
| 22 |
| 23 FYI, the cloudreader app reads a publicly readable object |
| 24 (gs://pub/shakespeare/rose.txt), but that the boto library requires |
| 25 credentials for all accesses, even to public objects. |
| 26 |
| 27 4. Try running it: |
| 28 % cd /usr/local/google_appengine |
| 29 % ./dev_appserver.py cloudreader |
| 30 and then open your browser to http://localhost:8080 |
| 31 |
| 32 If it works, you should see a short Shakespeare quote. |
| 33 |
| 34 5. A note about key security: Be careful not to put |
| 35 the boto.cfg file in any directory that app.yaml defines as serving |
| 36 static content. The example (cloudreader) app is correctly configured in |
| 37 this regard, and is important to make sure your configuration continues |
| 38 to enforce this constraint when you incorporate the code and config file |
| 39 into your real app. |
| 40 |
| 41 For good measure, whenever you change configurations you should try |
| 42 opening your web browser to http://localhost:8080/boto.cfg (or whatever |
| 43 path your app.yaml would map to where your boto.cfg file is located). |
| 44 This should *fail* to open your boto.cfg file! |
| 45 |
| 46 6. At this point you can upload your app to Google |
| 47 infrastructure, following the instructions at |
| 48 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/gettingstarted/uploading.html |
