# Ghost Google Drive
[Google drive storage](https://github.com/robincsamuel/ghost-google-drive) for ghost allows you to store the contents on google drive. I believe its helpful if you are gonna host your ghost app on heroku.
Will work with version higher than `0.6.0` of Ghost!
### What's is new in 2.x
- Rewritten to add support for Ghost 2.x.
## Installation
### Via NPM
- cd into Ghost's `current` directory and install `ghost-google-drive` storage module
```
cd current
npm install ghost-google-drive
```
- cd back to the root directory and make the storage folder if it doesn't exist yet
```
mkdir content/adapters/storage
```
- Copy the module into the right location
```
cp -vR current/node_modules/ghost-google-drive content/adapters/storage/ghost-google-drive
```
- Install package dependencies
```
cd content/adapters/storage/ghost-google-drive
npm install
```
### Via Git
In order to replace the storage module, the basic requirements are:
- Clone this repo to `/content/adapters/storage`. Please create the directories if not there.
```
cd [path/to/ghost]/content/adapters/storage
git clone https://github.com/robincsamuel/ghost-google-drive.git
```
- Install dependencies
```
cd ghost-google-drive
npm install
```
## Configuration
Add the following to your environment configuration, `config.development.json` if development.
- authType: googleAuth
```js
"storage": {
"active": "ghost-google-drive",
"ghost-google-drive": {
"authType": "googleAuth",
"key": {
"private_key_id": "YOUR PRIVATE KEY ID",
"private_key": "YOUR PRIVATE KEY",
"client_email": "YOUR CLIENT EMAIL",
"client_id": "YOUR CLIENT ID"
},
"folderId": "xxxxx"
}
},
```
- authType: jwt **default**
```js
"storage": {
"active": "ghost-google-drive",
"ghost-google-drive": {
"authType": "jwt",
"key": {
"private_key_id": "YOUR PRIVATE KEY ID",
"private_key": "YOUR PRIVATE KEY",
"client_email": "YOUR CLIENT EMAIL",
"client_id": "YOUR CLIENT ID"
}
}
},
```
You just have to replace the key object with your json array generated by google console.
If you are not sure about how to get google ccredentials, please read below.
## Create OAuth credentials
- Login to [google console](https://code.google.com/apis/console)
- Create a new project from the top right dropdown
- Click on `Enable APIS and Services`
- Search `Google Drive`
- Enable `Google Drive API`
- Click on the `Create Credentials` button.
- Add information for credentialing.
- You can skip the OAuth consent screen setup.
- From the credentials section, create a new `Service Account Key`
- Enter the account info, choose `JSON` for key type and download the file.
- You can copy the contents of json file to the config file (under `storage.ghost-google-drive.key`) as shown in the `Configuration` step.
---
This part below is only for authType: `googleAuth`
- Create the folder in your personal Google Drive
- Invite the service email to this folder and set this account th editor
- Copy the folder's web url to get the folder id and paste to `storage.ghost-google-drive.folderId`
---
- Restart Ghost
## Managing Google Drive
If you've followed the steps above, you just created a service account. A service account can't be logged into like a normal Google Drive account. Fret not! [We've built a solution to help.](https://github.com/behoyh/google-drive-ui)
