It is designed for tests that need local bucket and object behavior without talking to Google Cloud. ### Project history The public GitHub repository was created in May 2017. Its README presents the project both as a Go library, exposed through the fakestorage package, and as a standalone binary or Docker image. ### Adoption history The project fits the common package-manager role of a local service emulator: install a small binary, run it in tests or CI, and point client code at a local endpoint. The README also documents Docker Hub images and GitHub releases, which broaden adoption beyond Go-only consumers. ### How it is used Typical use is to start fake-gcs-server on a local port, optionally preload bucket/object data by mounting a /data directory, and run tests against its HTTP or HTTPS Google Cloud Storage-compatible endpoints. Server flags can also be supplied through FAKE_GCS_* environment variables. ### Why package nerds care For packagers, fake-gcs-server is useful because it turns cloud-storage integration tests into local, reproducible processes. Its split identity as both a Go test library and a command-line emulator makes it useful in mixed-language test suites. ### Timeline - 2017: The GitHub repository is created. - 2026: v1.54.0 is published on GitHub releases. ### Related projects - fake-gcs-server sits in the same tooling family as local emulators for datastore, pub/sub, and other cloud APIs used in integration tests. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** fake-gcs-server - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - fake-gcs-server: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/fa/fake-gcs-server/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - zypper - fake-gcs-server - 1.52.2-3.4: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: fake-gcs-server from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | Google Cloud Storage emulator & testing library | https://github.com/fsouza/fake-gcs-server ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [moto](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/moto/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud, developer-tools, testing. - [counterfeiter](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/counterfeiter/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, testing. - [gor](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gor/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, testing. - [gotests](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gotests/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, testing. - [gotestsum](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gotestsum/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, testing. - [h2spec](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/h2spec/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, testing. - [htmltest](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/htmltest/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, testing. - [mockery](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mockery/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, testing. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
