Website and Ecommerce application

This is an application to showcase the work of an artist and help them manage their online store by removing the need to utilize third parties to sell their work.

App here: https://theartofjaleh.com/

Account administration

In this case, I'm using simple account administration restricted to one user. This is populated via the rails console in production or test. This allows for the visiting and purchase of art while restricting the login and administration of the site to one user. The user, once created, can change their password and email address.

GHA workflows

Currently not used as unable to simulate reliably a cloudinary connection. Tests pass and display images locally, but not in GHA. Move worflows from ./test to ./github/ to enable.

Artwork

All artwork is some of the original mockups used by the artist to give them more of a feeling of what the site will look like.

Testing

Due to the nature of the active storage of the paintings in the test, you will need to run rails db:test:purge before running rails test to ensure that the tests run properly.

Paypal sandbox cards: Use current month and one year in advance ex: 10/24 for the expiration date.

Deployment to Digital Ocean (start in terminal):

Create a droplet with rails marketplace app
SSH into droplet ssh root@<ip of droplet> or ssh <short name > if you have set up a config file in .ssh.
Optional: touch config in .ssh local machine with the below so you can ssh <app name>

Host <name>
  User root
  HostName <ip of droplet>
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/<name>

Save a copy of your rails password and Postgres password in a safe place. You will need them later when you populate the application.yml file. Password is used throughout to clone repos, use sudo as rails user, etc.
Update packages: sudo apt-get update
Change default rails project folder:

nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/rails

change root /home/rails/rails_app/public; to root /home/<app name>/public; (named after github repo name)
Also add the following to your server location / block:

proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

Change server name to your domain name: server_name <domain name> www.<domain name>;
Change working dir similarly: nano /etc/systemd/system/rails.service
Change WorkingDirectory=/home/rails/rails_app to WorkingDirectory=/home/<app name> (named after github repo name) n you have an account available, log in
Change command to start server to include production environment: ExecStart= /bin/bash -lc 'bundle exec puma -e production

Not in terminal, but in droplet dashboard:

If you have a domain name, in the droplet console under "Domains" add your domain names as A records TTL 3600 and point it to the droplet IP address. Ensure you set up the name servers in your domain registrar to point to Digital Ocean's name servers:
```
ns1.digitalocean.com
ns2.digitalocean.com
ns3.digitalocean.com
```

Back to terminal:

Give priviledges to rails user: gpasswd -a rails sudo
Change into user in drop cli: sudo -i -u rails or whatever you want to call the user. Rails is pre-existing.
GO to home directory cd ..
Clone your repo: git clone <repo url>
sudo chmod 777 -R <app name>
cd <app name>
Use rvm or ensure ruby installed
bundle install
yarn
Install figaro and use bundle exec figaro install to generate a config/application.yml file where you can store ENV variables previously hosted in a .env. This will manage environment variables for you in production. Potential error will show, but check to see if the file was created (usually is).
Copy contents of .env into application.yml, but format as below:

EXAMPLE_ENV_VAR: <value>

May need to remove existing config/credentials.yml.enc and re-generate the master.key: EDITOR="nano" rails credentials:edit
For production, run below or remove the env assignment for dev.
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
RAILS_ENV=production rails db:create -RAILS_ENV=production rails db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production rails db:seed
Exit rails user and as root enable OpenSSH: ufw allow OpenSSH
Obtain SSL certificate: sudo certbot --nginx -d <domain name> -d <www.domain name>
Restart nginx: sudo systemctl restart nginx
Then restart the server: sudo systemctl restart rails.service
View logs by changing into the rails user sudo -i -u rails and then cd <app name> and tail -f log/production.log

A note about Printify:

With a custom (API) store set up, printify does not directly handle the publishing process. Clicking the "publish" button will not initiate any action. However, you can retrieve the data of your created products through an API GET request and manually create and publish your products on your storefront.

Once you have completed this process, you can link the product page on your storefront to the corresponding product in Printify by using the "Set product publish status to succeeded" request mentioned in our Printify API Reference: https://developers.printify.com/#overview

If you encounter any products that are stuck and need to be unlocked, you can use the "Set product publish status to failed" request provided in our Printify API apiteam[@]printify.com
