GCS Content

This example shows how to add content from a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket to your knowledge base. This allows you to process documents stored in Google Cloud without downloading them locally.

Usage

1. Install libraries

   pip install -U agno sqlalchemy psycopg pgvector google-cloud-storage
   
2. Configure Google Cloud credentials

   Set up your GCS credentials using one of these methods:

   • Service Account Key: Set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable
   • gcloud CLI: gcloud auth application-default login
   • Workload Identity (if running on Google Cloud)
3. Run PgVector

   docker run -d \
     -e POSTGRES_DB=ai \
     -e POSTGRES_USER=ai \
     -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=ai \
     -e PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata \
     -v pgvolume:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
     -p 5532:5432 \
     --name pgvector \
     agno/pgvector:16
   
4. Run the example

   Mac

   python cookbook/knowledge/basic_operations/07_from_gcs.py
