sync-google-photos-to-ghost

A Remix application that syncs Google Photos albums to Ghost blog posts.

For more on how this works, run the app and view the dashboard after signing in, or head to ./app/routes/dashboard.tsx.

This is a Remix app; for more on Remix, see the Remix Docs.

Deployment has been configured for Fly.io by using npx create-remix@latest and selecting Fly.io as the deployment target.

Environment variables

You must create a .env file to run this application locally. It should contain the following:

# These details are used to upload files to Backblaze B2. For more on how to create application
# keys, see: https://www.backblaze.com/docs/cloud-storage-application-keys.
# The endpoint is available on the bucket settings shown in the Backblaze dashboard UI.
BACKBLAZE_B2_ACCESS_KEY_ID="replace_me"
BACKBLAZE_B2_BUCKET_NAME="replace_me"
BACKBLAZE_B2_BUCKET_REGION="replace_me"
BACKBLAZE_B2_ENDPOINT="replace_me"
BACKBLAZE_B2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="replace_me"

# Set these up by adding a "Custom integration" to your Ghost blog, which you can do in the blog
# settings in the admin dashboard.
GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY="replace_me"
GHOST_ADMIN_API_URL="replace_me"

# A URL prefix to use for the uploaded images. If passed in, it will be prepended to the key
# to create the URL. If not passed in, the URL will read from the B2 upload result. This is
# useful if you want to use a CDN like Cloudflare to serve the images, rather than serving them
# directly from Backblaze B2.
# This is typically set up like: `https://images.<domain>.com/file/<bucketName>`,
# assuming that you've set up the subdomain `images.<domain>.com` to point to the B2 bucket in
# your CDN's settings.
GHOST_IMAGE_URL_PREFIX="replace_me"

# Follow these instructions to set up an OAuth 2.0 client ID:
# https://developers.google.com/photos/library/guides/get-started
#
# Make sure to set your client up with the following:
# - Authorized JavaScript origins: must include "http://localhost:3000" for local use and your
#   deployed root URL for production
# - Authorized redirect URIs: must include "http://localhost:3000/auth/google/callback" for local
#   use and the same path in your deployed domain for production
#
# Once you've set up the OAuth 2.0 Client, you can copy its Client ID and Client secret and add them
# here.
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID="replace_me"
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET="replace_me"

# Any random thirty-character string
SESSION_COOKIE_SECRET="replace_me"

You will also need to set these variables in your production environment; in Fly.io, you can do this by setting secrets.

The docs below were generated by running npx create-remix@latest.

Fly Setup

  1. Install flyctl

  2. Sign up and log in to Fly

flyctl auth signup
  1. Setup Fly. It might ask if you want to deploy, say no since you haven't built the app yet.
flyctl launch

Development

From your terminal:

npm run dev

This starts your app in development mode, rebuilding assets on file changes.

Deployment

If you've followed the setup instructions already, all you need to do is run this:

npm run deploy

You can run flyctl info to get the url and ip address of your server.

Check out the fly docs for more information.
