getOrCreateBucket()

EXPERIMENTAL

Cloud Run is in Alpha, which means APIs may change in any version and documentation is not yet finished. See the changelog to stay up to date with breaking changes.

Creates a Cloud Storage bucket for Remotion Cloud Run in your GCP project. If one already exists, it will get returned instead.

Only 1 bucket per region is necessary for Remotion Cloud Run to function.

ts
import { getOrCreateBucket } from "@remotion/cloudrun";
 
const { bucketName, alreadyExisted } = await getOrCreateBucket({
  region: "us-east1",
});
 
console.log(bucketName); // "remotioncloudrun-32df3p"
ts

const { bucketName, alreadyExisted } = await getOrCreateBucket({
  region: "us-east1",
});
 
console.log(bucketName); // "remotioncloudrun-32df3p"
