Connecting a Blob Storage Account

[Jacovlogg]

I want to connect my Blob storage account to my apps through Aspire.

I have read the docs and have implemented:
var blobs = builder.AddAzureStorage("storage")
.AddBlobs("blobs");

In my user secrets I have a connectionstrings:
"blobs": ""

This all fails and gives the error:
Missing Subscription Configuration

I have Implemented:
var blobs = builder.AddAzureStorage("storage")
.RunAsEmulator()
.AddBlobs("blobs");

But I don't want to emulate locally I want to connect to the live storage while deving locally. Or maybe I am misunderstanding the Emulator?

So I am not sure what I am missing and what connection string blobs wants and storage wants if not the storage Key?

Yes the emulator (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azurite?tabs=visual-studio%2Cblob-storage) runs locally.

If you want aspire to provision storage the resource in Azure then you can use local provisioning https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/aspire/deployment/azure/local-provisioning.

If you want to use an existing storage resource, then you can use builder.AddConnectionString to just set a value of a connection string in the apphost's configuration.
