How to Deploy Razoo's Photonic Wallet on Google Cloud Run¶

Hello everyone! I’m excited to share my latest adventure – setting up Razoo’s Photonic Wallet on Google Cloud Run. This wallet isn’t just for sending and receiving tokens; it allows you to create new tokens, including mineable meme tokens. It’s fair, secure, and efficient, thanks to Radiant's induction proofs. Let's dive into the details!

Step 1: Setting Up the Dockerfile¶

Here’s the Dockerfile that you’ll need to build the Photonic Wallet image:

FROM node:18
RUN npm install -g pnpm
RUN git clone https://github.com/coinchimp/photonic-wallet
WORKDIR /photonic-wallet
RUN pnpm install
RUN pnpm build
RUN npm install -g http-server
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["http-server", "/photonic-wallet/packages/app/dist", "-p", "8080"]

If you’re running it locally with self-signed certificates, use this Dockerfile:

FROM node:18
RUN npm install -g pnpm
RUN git clone https://github.com/coinchimp/photonic-wallet
WORKDIR /photonic-wallet
RUN pnpm install
RUN pnpm build
RUN npm install -g http-server
RUN mkdir -p /photonic-wallet/certs && \
    openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /photonic-wallet/certs/selfsigned.key -out /photonic-wallet/certs/selfsigned.crt -subj "/C=US/ST=State/L=City/O=Organization/OU=Unit/CN=localhost"
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["http-server", "/photonic-wallet/packages/app/dist", "-p", "8080", "-S", "-C", "/photonic-wallet/certs/selfsigned.crt", "-K", "/photonic-wallet/certs/selfsigned.key"]

Step 2: GitHub Actions Workflow¶

Here’s the workflow file to automate the build and deployment process to Google Cloud Run:

name: Deploy Photonic Wallet to Google Cloud Run

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master

jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Set up Docker Buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v2

      - name: Log in to Google Container Registry
        uses: docker/login-action@v2
        with:
          registry: gcr.io
          username: _json_key
          password: ${{ secrets.GCP_RUN_CREDENTIALS }}

      - name: Build and push Docker image
        uses: docker/build-push-action@v3
        with:
          context: .
          file: ./Dockerfile
          push: true
          tags: gcr.io/${{ secrets.GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID }}/photonic-wallet:${{ github.sha }}

      - name: Authenticate to Google Cloud manually
        env:
          GCP_JSON_KEY: ${{ secrets.GCP_RUN_CREDENTIALS }}
        run: |
          echo "$GCP_JSON_KEY" > /tmp/gcp-key.json
          gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file=/tmp/gcp-key.json

      - name: Set Google Cloud Project
        env:
          GCP_PROJ_ID: ${{ secrets.GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID }}
        run: gcloud config set project "$GCP_PROJ_ID"

      - name: Verify Authentication
        run: |
          gcloud auth list
          gcloud config list project

      - name: Deploy to Google Cloud Run
        run: |
          gcloud run deploy photonic-wallet \
            --image gcr.io/${{ secrets.GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID }}/photonic-wallet:${{ github.sha }} \
            --platform managed \
            --region us-central1 \
            --allow-unauthenticated
        shell: bash

Step 3: Setting Up Google Cloud Run¶

Before deploying, make sure to create an instance in Cloud Run and set the necessary permissions:

Create an Instance:
Go to the Google Cloud Console.
Navigate to Cloud Run and create a new service.
Choose your region and the container image URL (from Google Container Registry).
Set Permissions:
Ensure the Cloud Run service account has the following roles:
- Cloud Run Admin
- Storage Admin
- Artifact Registry Reader
You can set these permissions in the IAM section of the Google Cloud Console.

Conclusion¶

That’s it! You’ve successfully deployed Razoo’s Photonic Wallet to Google Cloud Run. For more details, check out the Photonic Wallet repo. Happy deploying and enjoy creating your own tokens!
