The `blobs` allows you to upload artifacts to Amazon S3, Azure Blob and
Google GCS.

## Customization

```yaml {filename=".goreleaser.yaml"}
blobs:
  # You can have multiple blob configs
  - # Cloud provider name:
    # - s3 for AWS S3 Storage
    # - azblob for Azure Blob Storage
    # - gs for Google Cloud Storage
    #
    # Templates: allowed.
    provider: azblob

    # Set a custom endpoint, useful if you're using a minio backend or
    # other s3-compatible backends.
    #
    # Implies s3ForcePathStyle and requires provider to be `s3`
    #
    # Templates: allowed.
    endpoint: https://minio.foo.bar

    # Sets the bucket region.
    # Requires provider to be `s3`
    #
    # Templates: allowed.
    region: us-west-1

    # Disables SSL
    # Requires provider to be `s3`
    disable_ssl: true

    # Bucket name.
    #
    # Templates: allowed.
    bucket: goreleaser-bucket

    # IDs of the artifacts you want to upload.
    ids:
      - foo
      - bar

    # Allows to further filter the artifacts.
    #
    # Artifacts that do not match this expression will be ignored.
    #
    # {{< g_inline_pro >}}
    # {{< g_inline_version "v2.3" >}}
    # Templates: allowed.
    if: '{{ eq .Os "linux" }}'

    # Path/name inside the bucket.
    #
    # Default: '{{ .ProjectName }}/{{ .Tag }}'.
    # Templates: allowed.
    directory: "foo/bar/{{.Version}}"

    # Whether to disable this particular upload configuration.
    #
    # Templates: allowed.
    disable: '{{ ne .BLOB_UPLOAD_ONLY "foo" }}'

    # You can add extra pre-existing files to the bucket.
    #
    # The filename on the release will be the last part of the path (base).
    # If another file with the same name exists, the last one found will be used.
    # These globs can also include templates.
    extra_files:
      - glob: ./path/to/file.txt
      - glob: ./glob/**/to/**/file/**/*
      - glob: ./glob/foo/to/bar/file/foobar/override_from_previous
      - glob: ./single_file.txt
        # Templates: allowed.
        name_template: file.txt # note that this only works if glob matches 1 file only

    # Additional templated extra files to uploaded.
    # Those files will have their contents pass through the template engine,
    # and its results will be uploaded.
    #
    # This feature is only available in GoReleaser Pro.
    # Templates: allowed.
    templated_extra_files:
      - src: LICENSE.tpl
        dst: LICENSE.txt

    # Allow to disable `s3ForcePathStyle`.
    #
    # Default: true.
    s3_force_path_style: false

    # ACL to be applied to all files in this configuration.
    #
    # If you need different ACLs for different files, create multiple `blobs`
    # configurations.
    #
    # Only available when `provider` is S3.
    #
    # Default: ''.
    acl: foo

    # Cache control options.
    #
    # If you need different `cache_control` options for different files,
    # create multiple `blobs` configurations.
    #
    # Default: ''.
    cache_control:
      - max-age=9999
      - public

    # Allows to set the content disposition of the file.
    #
    # If you need different `content_disposition` options for different files,
    # create multiple `blobs` configurations.
    #
    # Default: attachment;filename={{.Filename}}.
    # Templates: allowed.
    # Disable by setting the value to '-'
    content_disposition: "inline"

    # Upload metadata.json and artifacts.json to the release as well.
    include_meta: true

    # Upload only the files defined in extra_files.
    extra_files_only: true

## Authentication

GoReleaser's blob pipe authentication varies depending upon the blob provider as mentioned below:

### S3 Provider

S3 provider support AWS
[default credential provider](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/v1/developer-guide/configuring-sdk.html#specifying-credentials)
chain in the following order:

- Environment variables.
- Shared credentials file.
- If your application is running on an Amazon EC2 instance, IAM role for Amazon EC2.

### Azure Blob Provider

```yaml
blobs:
  - provider: azblob
    bucket: releases?storage_account=myazurestorage
```

Storage account is set over URL param `storage_account` in `bucket` or in environment variable `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT`

It supports authentication with

- [environment variables](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-azure-cli#set-default-azure-storage-account-environment-variables):
  - `AZURE_STORAGE_KEY` or `AZURE_STORAGE_SAS_TOKEN`
- [default Azure credential](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/go/azure-sdk-authentication-service-principal)

### [GCS Provider](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production)

GCS provider uses
[Application Default Credentials](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production)
in the following order:

- Environment Variable (`GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`)
- Default Service Account from the compute instance (Compute Engine,
  Kubernetes Engine, Cloud function etc).

## ACLs

There is no common way to set ACLs across all bucket providers, so, [go-cloud][]
[does not support it yet][issue1108].

You are expected to set the ACLs on the bucket/directory/etc, depending on your
provider.
