I’ve installed Shopify CLI to try theme app extension. But I am working remotely from my PC to Ubuntu 18.04 dev server. When I run Shopify login, CLI gives me a URL to paste on the browser. But the redirect URI in this URL starts with 127.0.0.1. The link showed the login screen but it failed after I…

Just use python built-in webbrowser module to visit the link.

Did you figure this out? I’m trying to do the exact same thing. I have ubuntu VM on AWS with no browser. Thanks!

I ended up creating a tunnel for port 3456 using Putty: [FurnaceX_0-1632019097684.png]

Could you explain how to have the Shopify CLI open the that particular text editor? When I enter Shopify login, a text browser opens automatically in the text editor, so I can’t solve the captcha, which requires javascript. Does python’s browser solve the captcha issue?

Do you use the command “shopify login”? If so , how does this solve the browser issue? Could you please explain it a bit further?

Run ssh -N -L localhost:3456:localhost:3456 [email removed]

Is it still ok to use a Tunnel in Putty? I try the same way for CLI 3.x running npm run dev. Copy the login link to the browser. Chrome tells me log in successfully. But the CLI exits on its own. Anyone is trying CLI on a remote server?

This is not correct and shouldn’t be an accepted solution. The question indicates, that they are working remotely (which probably indicates SSH tunnel). The Python webbrowser module does not help, when going to the link from remote terminal. The login page still redirects to 127.0.0.1.

Worked for me without using “-N”. If you want to ssh tunnel the dev server also just use “ssh -L localhost:3456:localhost:3456 -L localhost:9292:localhost:9292 @<server_ip>”

I was able to figure this out thanks to a post here: https://blog.klaudsol.com/how-to-run-shopify-cli-in-aws-cloud-9/ I was able to authenticate a Shopify partner account on “Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS” AWS EC2 instance. Steps below: Install Node.js and npm. I used Node Version Manager (Option 3 here ) In…

This method worked for me. Thanks a lot!
