shortcuts-cfimages-action

This repository guides you through setting up a workflow to upload photos from your Apple device to Cloudflare Images, then trigger a GitHub Action which commits the upload response into your repository, for you to do whatever with; for example, you can use it to build a RSS feed of photos.

Setup

Step 1: Sign up for Cloudflare Images.

Step 2: Fork this repository. Alternatively, set up a GitHub Action like commit.yml to receive the uploaded image metadata. The  Shortcut in the next step assumes you are using commit.yml, but it shouldn't be hard to customize.

Step 3: Install this  Shortcut and respond to setup questions with your Cloudflare credentials and the details of your GitHub Action.

Cloudflare Images

Cloudflare Images costs $60/year, but it takes care of serving and resizing your images in the most optimal way. Alternatively, check out muan/stories-feed-action which simply commits photos into your repository.

Cloudflare API Token

Cloudflare Images Account ID

https://dash.cloudflare.com/ → Images → Developer Resources → Account ID

commit.yml or a custom GitHub Action

This action takes the successful response from a Cloudflare Images upload, and appends it to a JSON file you specifiy.

 Shortcut

The shortcut does the following:

• Prompt to select photo
• Prompt for caption and alt text
• Upload photo to Cloudflare Images with the caption/alt as its metadata
• Trigger a workflow_dispatch event for a GitHub action with the response from the success upload

The workflow_dispatch action depends on the GitHub iOS app.
