GitHub Actions Deployment

1. Fork this repository on GitHub

First, fork this repository to your own GitHub account. The deployment configuration and workflow runs will be done in your forked repository.

2. Prepare Cloudflare credentials

You need to prepare the following two GitHub Actions secrets in Cloudflare:

IMPORTANT

The R2 feature must be enabled manually in the Cloudflare dashboard before deployment. If the first workflow run fails because R2 is not enabled yet, enable it and rerun the GitHub Actions workflow.
You only need to enable the R2 feature. You do not need to create the bucket manually. The deployment will create the web-archive bucket automatically.

NOTE

When creating the token, choose the Edit Cloudflare Workers template first, then manually add the D1 Edit permission.
Set Account Resources to "All accounts" and Zone Resources to "All zones".

For reference, the Cloudflare API token permissions should look like this:

3. Configure GitHub Actions secrets in your fork

Go to Settings -> Secrets and variables -> Actions in your forked repository, then create these two repository secrets:

  • CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID
  • CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN

The Secrets configuration page looks like this:

4. Enable GitHub Actions and run the deployment workflow

Open the Actions page in your forked repository. If GitHub shows that Actions are disabled for the fork, enable them first.

Enable GitHub Actions

After Actions are enabled, select the Deploy workflow from the workflow list, then click Run workflow to trigger deployment manually.

Run the Deploy workflow

IMPORTANT

After deployment, log in as soon as possible. The first user to log in will be assigned as the administrator.

After deployment finishes, you can find the service URL in the Cloudflare Workers dashboard. Use the formal URL without a hash, and do not copy the preview URL with a random hash.

Command Deploy

Requirements: Local installation of node environment.
Command deployment is more troublesome to update, so it is recommended to use Github Actions deployment.

0. Download the code

Download the latest service.zip from the release page, unzip it, and execute the following commands in the root directory.

1. Login

bash
npx wrangler login

2. Create R2 storage bucket

bash
npx wrangler r2 bucket create web-archive

Success output:

bash
 ⛅️ wrangler 3.78.10 (update available 3.80.4)
--------------------------------------------------------

Creating bucket web-archive with default storage class set to Standard.
Created bucket web-archive with default storage class set to Standard.

3. Create D1 database

bash
npx wrangler d1 create web-archive

Success output:

bash
 Successfully created DB 'web-archive' in region UNKNOWN
Created your new D1 database.

[[d1_databases]]
binding = "DB" # i.e. available in your Worker on env.DB
database_name = "web-archive"
database_id = "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"

Copy the last line of the output, replace the database_id value in the wrangler.toml file.

Then execute the following command to initialize the database:

bash
npx wrangler d1 migrations apply web-archive --remote

Success output:

bash
🌀 Executing on remote database web-archive (7fd5a5ce-79e7-4519-a5fb-2f9a3af71064):
🌀 To execute on your local development database, remove the --remote flag from your wrangler command.
Note: if the execution fails to complete, your DB will return to its original state and you can safely retry.

How to update

Use Github Actions deployment, the latest code will be automatically synced to the fork repository.

Command deployment needs to download the latest code and update manually.
