Hi! Is there a way to run a vercel blob server locally for development purposes?

as they have their own info and things, i think you have to use their servers even for dev 😭

For the future if you’re just using an s3 complaint store

#

You can always run minio in a docker container locally

#

To simulate the s3 api locally

#

Sadly vercel blob has vendor lock in

#

i was thinking because they used r2, that it can be s3 compatible, but wasn't sure what vercel magic is done

R2 is s3 complaint

#

yeah that is what i was saying

#

I misunderstood

#

i was trying to say that they use something that is s3 comp, but i wasn't sure that vercel passes that on (but i can see how i didn't convey that ;()

No you did

I’m just a dumby

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunate that there isn't an easy way to write tests against the vercel API that don't use their hosted services

@balmy notch you could try to mock the functions

balmy notch Oct 24, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

yeah. that is an option. I think I will just stick to S3 for now. Looking forward to this tech progressing though.

Ah okay

#

Hey if you’re using s3 check out next-upload

#

It’s a package I built as an alternative to vercel blob

#

It streamlines the upload process without any of the vendor lock in of vercel

#

All you need is an s3 compatible object store
