How to connect to local Google Cloud Storage (not datastore)

Question

I have a web application written in go and want to access a local google cloud storage - GCS (not datastore). I am not using GAE, I will be using GCE. How do I set up GCS locally and access it from Go?

Answer 1

1. Install gcloud
2. In the console run gcloud beta auth application-default login
3. Login with the google account that owns the project

4. In your code, your configuration should be like this:

   cliente, err := storage.NewClient(ctx)

   if err != nil {
       log.Fatal(err)
   }
   clienteCS = cliente.Bucket(bucketName)
   

5)If you haven't created a bucket, I would recomend to creat manually from console or with gsutil because you won't be frequently creating buckets 6)Run your code, enjoy

Steps from documentation are valid too but is headache
