⭐️ CI/CD pipeline for arweave ⭐️

No more deployment headaches! ARSync's streamlined CI/CD pipeline makes updating your ARDrive hosted websites a walk in the park. home

Inspiration

Arweave shines as a remarkable option for web2 hosting, providing a worry-free, long-term storage solution without recurring hosting fees. The only drawback lies in the need to manually update files and craft new manifest files each time a website update is desired. 🙁

But fear not! We've taken the reins to streamline this process and bring joy to developers' lives. 😃 Now, no more tiresome tasks! With our solution, a simple code push to GitHub is all it takes, and arsync swoops in to handle the rest, saving you time and effort. 🚀

What it does

arsync is the ultimate solution for effortless Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) of ardrive hosted websites🤯. We understand the challenges that developers face when it comes to maintaining seamless updates and deployments for their ardrive-hosted projects 🫂. With ARSync, we've revolutionized the process🤩, making it easier than ever to keep your websites up-to-date and running smoothly.😉

How we built it

we have used ardrive , github workflows and python scripts to efficiently detect the whenever the user has pushed the code

once the user pushes the code workflow is started
workflow manages the interaction between the github and the python scripts
python scripts take the built file from the github and updates the changes to ardrive
updates are then communicated to arsync dashboard and the website link is updated ## Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the fact that we were able to build a working prototype which makes it so much easier to host any website in a decentralized manner. 🚀
The current way of hosting website on Ardrive is very cumbersome and doesn't support automatic redeploys. We have made it so much easier with a simple and interactive UI which reploys the website automatically whenever there is a change in the code. 🤩
We are proud that our project is very easy to use without much technical knowledge. 🤓
With arsync, we can even collaborate with teams using version control of Git which is not possible with Ardrive.

What we learned

We learned about working of GitHub Actions, Workflows and the GitHub REST APIs in the development and how to build with them. 🤯
We learned about the working of Arweave and development with ArweaveKit and its ecosystem. 🤩
We learned about connection of wallet directly with the wallet key JSON. Which makes the login seamless.

What's next for arsync: CI/CD for arweave

We are trying to add support for environment variables.
We can add testing/checking the builds for vulnerabilities and security issues before deploying them directly in arweave.
Inclusion of various build frameworks Currently, we offer hosting for websites built using create-react-app, and we plan to expand our hosting options to include a wider range of frameworks in the future.
