Seal Deployment Automation Guide

Complete automation for Order of St John credential seal deployment.

Quick Start

One-Command Deployment:

./scripts/deploy/complete-seal-deployment.sh

This automates:

1. ✅ SVG to PNG conversion (all sizes)
2. ✅ File validation
3. ✅ Manifest generation
4. ✅ Deployment checklist
5. ✅ Summary report

Automation Scripts

1. Complete Seal Preparation

Script: scripts/deploy/prepare-all-credential-seals.sh

Converts all SVG seals to PNG in multiple sizes:

• 200x200px (for credentials)
• 400x400px (high-res)
• 800x800px (print)

Usage:

./scripts/deploy/prepare-all-credential-seals.sh

Output:

• PNG files in assets/credential-images/png/
• File manifest
• Validation report
• CDN upload script template

2. Seal Validation

Script: scripts/validation/validate-seal-files.sh

Validates:

• SVG file structure
• Maltese Cross presence
• OSJ references
• PNG file integrity
• File sizes
• Manifest template references

Usage:

./scripts/validation/validate-seal-files.sh

3. Complete Deployment

Script: scripts/deploy/complete-seal-deployment.sh

Orchestrates all steps:

1. Prepare seals (convert SVG to PNG)
2. Validate files
3. Generate deployment checklist
4. Create summary report

Usage:

./scripts/deploy/complete-seal-deployment.sh

4. Update Manifest URLs

Script: scripts/deploy/update-manifest-seal-urls.sh

Updates manifest templates with CDN URLs after upload.

Usage:

# Default CDN
./scripts/deploy/update-manifest-seal-urls.sh

# Custom CDN
CDN_BASE_URL=https://your-cdn.com/images ./scripts/deploy/update-manifest-seal-urls.sh

Workflow

Step 1: Prepare Seals

./scripts/deploy/prepare-all-credential-seals.sh

This creates:

• PNG files in all required sizes
• File manifest
• Validation report
• Upload script template

Step 2: Validate

./scripts/validation/validate-seal-files.sh

Checks:

• All required seals exist
• SVG structure is valid
• PNG files are valid
• File sizes are appropriate

Step 3: Review

Review generated files:

• assets/credential-images/png/MANIFEST.txt
• assets/credential-images/png/VALIDATION_REPORT.txt
• Check PNG quality

Step 4: Upload to CDN

cd assets/credential-images/png
./upload-to-cdn.sh

Or manually upload to your CDN provider.

Step 5: Update Manifests

./scripts/deploy/update-manifest-seal-urls.sh

Updates all manifest templates with CDN URLs.

Step 6: Test

• Issue test credentials
• Verify seals display correctly
• Test all credential types

Dependencies

Required

• Bash 4.0+
• SVG files in assets/credential-images/svg/

Optional (for conversion)

• ImageMagick (recommended):

  sudo apt-get install imagemagick  # Linux
  brew install imagemagick          # macOS
  

• Inkscape:

  sudo apt-get install inkscape     # Linux
  brew install inkscape              # macOS
  

• Node.js with sharp:

  pnpm add sharp
  

CDN Configuration

AWS S3 Example

# In upload-to-cdn.sh
aws s3 cp digital-bank-seal.png s3://your-bucket/images/digital-bank-seal.png --acl public-read

Azure Blob Storage Example

# In upload-to-cdn.sh
az storage blob upload --file digital-bank-seal.png --container-name images --name digital-bank-seal.png --account-name your-account

Cloudflare R2 Example

# In upload-to-cdn.sh
rclone copy digital-bank-seal.png r2:images/digital-bank-seal.png

Environment Variables

Set CDN base URL:

export CDN_BASE_URL=https://cdn.theorder.org/images

Or inline:

CDN_BASE_URL=https://your-cdn.com/images ./scripts/deploy/update-manifest-seal-urls.sh

Troubleshooting

Conversion Fails

• Install ImageMagick, Inkscape, or sharp
• Check SVG files are valid
• Verify file permissions

Validation Warnings

• Review warnings in validation report
• Check SVG structure
• Verify PNG files are valid

CDN Upload Issues

• Verify CDN credentials
• Check file permissions
• Ensure HTTPS is configured

Best Practices

1. Always validate after conversion
2. Review PNG quality before deployment
3. Test in wallets before production
4. Use HTTPS for all CDN URLs
5. Optimize file sizes (<100KB recommended)
6. Version control SVG source files
7. Document changes in deployment summary
