Escovando Bits #63 - Side projects que pagam as contas: guia realista
We had a chat about side projects, OpenSource, and making money out of it — in Portuguese.
If you, like me, release your projects to the Snap Store using GoReleaser, you might need to eventually update the secret.
It seems to me that the secret expires every year, and this is the time of the year I need to renew mine.
To help future me, this is my recipe on how to do it quickly:
snapcraft export-login /tmp/snap.login
gh secret set SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS </tmp/snap.login
If you used to use snapcraft login --with, it is not needed anymore!
You can simply set the SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS to authenticate, e.g.:
SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS=$(cat /tmp/snap.login) snapcraft whoami
Or, if you want to use it with a GitHub Action, e.g. GoReleaser:
name: release
on:
push:
tags:
- "*"
jobs:
goreleaser:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
fetch-depth: 0
- uses: actions/setup-go@v5
with:
go-version: stable
- name: setup-snapcraft
run: |
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -yq --no-install-suggests --no-install-recommends install snapcraft
- uses: goreleaser/goreleaser-action@v6
with:
args: release --clean
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GH_PAT }}
SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS: ${{ secrets.SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS }}
Hope this is helpful for you, or future me. 👴
