orderly.azure

Orderly2 location backed by an Azure file share.

To use this you will need

• Address of the file share which should be "https://.file.core.windows.net/"
• The name of a container within the file share, this must exist and be empty
• A way to authenticate, a key might be easiest but see ?AzureStor::storage_container

Installation

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("hivtools/orderly.azure")

Usage

Add the location

args <- list(driver = "orderly.azure::orderly_location_azure",
             url = "https://<file-share-name>.file.core.windows.net/",
             container = "demo",
             key = "KEY")
orderly2::orderly_location_add("my-local-name", "custom", args)

It can then be used as normal, see collaborative analysis vignette from orderly2.

Note this is experimental, and shouldn't be relied upon yet. Better to use a file or http locations where your IT setup allows it.
