gridfs

It's MongoDB a good candidate to serve static files (files, video) as cdn. I searching a solid way to store big amounts of data (>+To) remplacing S3 and managing cache features. Experiences. Thanks. Andrew Orsich I suppose that the answer to this question is no , because when you are using a CDN to store static files you make your server free from static data requests. But when you are choosing between a file system and mongodb Ii suppose that mongodb will be faster, beacause if there is enough ram on the server, mongo will load all data to the memory. Also I've found some links that can help

I have started building a REST api using expressJS. I am new to node so please bear with me. I want to be able to let users upload a file directly to Mongo's GridFS using a post to the /upload route. From what I understand in expressJS documentation the req.files.image object is available in the route after uploading, which also includes a path and filename attribute. But how can I exactly read the image data and store it into GridFS? I have looked into gridfs-stream but I can't tie ends together. Do I first need to read the file and then use that data for the writestream pipe? Or can I just

I'm developing a node module. I need to pass the mongoose to my module to get three things ( mongoose.connection , mongoose.connection.db , mongoose.mongo ) out of it. index.js (myModule - the module I developed) function myModule(mongoose) { var db = mongoose.connection; var gfs = gridfsLockingStream(mongoose.connection.db, mongoose.mongo); this.someFunction = function() {//some code here} } module.exports = myModule; db.js (A user must use myModule like this) var mongoose = require('mongoose'); var myModule = require('myModule'); var dbUrl = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/gfsTestDB'; mongoose

I am using MangoDB along with GridFS to store images. I've got this route to retrieve an image from the DB : app.get("/images/profile/:uId", function (req, res) { let uId = req.params.uId; console.log(uId) gfs.files.findOne( { "metadata.owner": uId, "metadata.type": 'profile' } , function (err, file) { if (err || !file) { return res.status(404).send({ error: 'Image not found' }); } var readstream = gfs.createReadStream({ filename: file.filename }); readstream.on("error", function (err) { res.send("Image not found"); }); readstream.pipe(res); }); }); This returns something like that : �PNG IHDR

I am starting to use GridFS within a Meteor app. I have set up the file collection "assetFiles" with a GridFS storage adapter like this : AssetCollection = new Mongo.Collection( "assets" ); AssetFileStore = new FS.Store.GridFS( "assetFiles" ); AssetFilesCollection = new FS.Collection( "assetFiles", { stores: [AssetFileStore] }); AssetFilesCollection.allow({ insert: function(){ return true; }, update: function(){ return true; }, remove: function(){ return true; }, download: function(){ return true; } }); I have inserted some files in it and using meteor mongo client checked they actually exist
