Filebase

BLUMEN_FILEBASE_TOKEN for upload + pin is obtained by encoding access key and access secret to base64. Access key and access secret could be found in the Filebase console.

Filebase console

The easiest way to generate an S3 API token is using the base64 command:

sh
echo "accessKey:accessSecret" | base64

Storacha

First you have to install w3up cli:

bash
npm i -g @web3-storage/w3cli
bash
pnpm i -g @web3-storage/w3cli
bash
bun i -g @web3-storage/w3cli

Then you need to login to your Storacha account:

Once log in is successful, you need to select your space. Grab the DID (the did:key:... string) from Storacha web console and run the following command:

sh
w3 space use did:key:...

When both the account and the space are set up, you need to generate a unique private key. Later we'll need it to generate a proof (that gives us permit to upload files on Storacha).

bash
npx ucan-key ed
bash
pnpx ucan-key ed
bash
bunx ucan-key ed

Save this private key (which starts with Mg..) to an environment variable (BLUMEN_STORACHA_TOKEN).

You also need to create a delegation for the generated DID:

sh
w3 delegation create <did_from_ucan-key_command_above> --can 'store/add' --can 'upload/add' --can 'space/blob/add' --can 'space/index/add' | base64

Save the command output in a BLUMEN_STORACHA_PROOF environment variable or save it to a file (that should not be uploaded!) and then read from it like this:

sh
BLUMEN_STORACHA_PROOF=`cat proof.txt`
