I am trying to use Orthanc in the cloud, which plugin is more stable and up to date (Azure Blob Storage or AWS S3)?

Where can I find the plugins already compiled for download?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Lucas,

Actually, the Azure Blob Storage plugin is a commercial plugin and is part of the osimis/orthanc-pro docker images. You’ll need to request a trial serial number in order to test it.  
Concerning the S3 plugin, it has been developed by RadPoint and I’m afraid you’ll have to recompile it by yourself

Thank you, Alain Mazy

I was unsuccessful in compiling the radpointhq plugin for Aws S3, I think it was discontinued …

I saw the option to use Google Cloud. But I do not understand how it works, the storage is on GoogleCloud ??

Thanks In advance.

Hello,

Regarding the free and open-source plugin for Google Cloud Platform: Yes, if you use this plugin to upload data, the DICOM data would be stored on Google’s servers.

Please read the Orthanc Book and Google Healthcare API documentation for more information:
