Blob Storage mssql

[joshplaetzler]

Just a question about blob storage. We have our templates stored with mssql extension does that mean the blobs that are created through an async request get stored there as well or do they still default to the local fs on the server?

The jsreport mssql template store driver doesn't store blobs and doesn't work as jsreport blob storage.
You likely have "blobStorage": { "provider": "fs" } in your jsreport.config.json and blobs from async requests are stored on the disk.

So If we want to use async with clustered docker images we have to use mongodb in order for the async files to persist between them?

[jan_blaha]

Hm yes... We should probably add the storage support to the SQL, it should be just a few lines of code.

In case you are in azure or aws, there exist respective blob storage drivers

Thanks I will look into the aws one and see if it is something we can do.
