I was not satisfied with the highest rated answer here and so I’m providing a new one: I ended up using the node module ‘gridfs-stream’ (great documentation there!) which can be installed via npm. With it, and in combination with mongoose, it could look like this: var fs = require(‘fs’); var mongoose = require(“mongoose”); var … Read more
If your images truly are small enough to not be a problem with document size and you don’t mind a little amount of extra processing, then it’s probably fine to just store it directly in your collection. To do that you’ll want to base64 encode the image, then store it using mongo’s BinData type. As … Read more
You can achieve file uploading with Meteor without using any more packages or a third party Option 1: DDP, saving file to a mongo collection /*** client.js ***/ // asign a change event into input tag ‘change input’ : function(event,template){ var file = event.target.files[0]; //assuming 1 file only if (!file) return; var reader = new … Read more
I’m not sure your list is quite correct. It depends on what you mean by a file system.

Following example show how to save file and read back from gridfs(using official mongodb driver): var server = MongoServer.Create(“mongodb://localhost:27020”); var database = server.GetDatabase(“tesdb”); var fileName = “D:\\Untitled.png”; var newFileName = “D:\\new_Untitled.png”; using (var fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open)) { var gridFsInfo = database.GridFS.Upload(fs, fileName); var fileId = gridFsInfo.Id; ObjectId oid= new ObjectId(fileId); var file = … Read more
Ah, I just stumbled into this exact problem. As it turns out, looping (or any sort of seeking, for that matter) in <video> elements on Chrome only works if the video file was served up by a server that understands partial content requests. i.e. the server needs to honor requests that contain a “Range” header … Read more
I use gridfs at work on one of our servers which is part of a price-comparing website with honorable traffic stats (arround 25k visitors per day). The server hasn’t much ram, 2gigs, and even the cpu isn’t really fast (Core 2 duo 1.8Ghz) but the server has plenty storage space : 10Tb (sata) in raid … Read more
