This script is meant to upload images to Shopify and all dependent third-party plugins. Once installed on a VM in AWS EC2, this script will cycle through the citystock-uploader-kevin bucket, create a Shopify product from the image metadata, upload the asset to the third-party plugin, and then link the asset to the Shopify product. The shell script that uploads images will only work on a Linux machine. The installation instructions below only apply to Ubuntu, but may be applicable to any Unix-like system that has the exiftool available.

We will create a VM to perform the uploads for two reasons. The first is that a pristine runtime environment is easier to guarantee on a dedicated VM than it would be on a contributor's personal machine. The second is that the VM is in the AWS network and thus has extremely fast connectivity.

Inside of the AWS console, create an EC2 instance:

• Name: uploader (NOTE: if you change this, ensure that the change is reflected in later steps that use 'INSTANCE_NAME')
• Image: Ubuntu 22.04 (or higher)
• SSH Keys: brians_gram
• VPC: Cluster-VPC
• Subnet: Public-Subnet-1
• Auto-Assign Public IP: Enable
• Security Group: ssh-anywhere

Inside of the AWS console, create an IAM user for the EC2 instance:

• Access Type: Programmatic access
• Name: uploader
• Role: S3-Admin
• Region: us-east-1 (used in aws configure)

From host:

INSTANCE_NAME='uploader'
INSTANCES="$(aws ec2 describe-instances --filters Name=tag:Name,Values="$INSTANCE_NAME")"
INSTANCE_IP_ADDR="$(echo $INSTANCES | jq '.Reservations[0].Instances[0].PublicIpAddress' | tr -d '"')"
ssh -i ~/.ssh/brians_gram.pem ubuntu@$INSTANCE_IP_ADDR

From VM:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo reboot
# log back in as before
sudo apt install exiftool awscli golang python3.10-venv python3-pip imagemagick ffmpeg
aws configure # provide access key and pw from console
# clone repo
git clone https://github.com/briand787b/shopifyasst.git
cd shopifyasst
# set up secret env vars
cp example.env .env # fill in secret values
# install py deps.  You may want to create a venv before this
cd py
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
# install node dependencies
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | bash
nvm install 18
cd node
npm install
