I have to figure out how to post a batch of assets to Arweave once a year and it's always painful to sort out again. Here's how. If anyone has a better idea please share!
1. Make an Arweave wallet if you don't have one. I guess www.wander.app is the one.
2. You need $AR. I transfer Eth to Ar via simpleswap.io. There's a storage calculator you can use to figure out how much $AR you need at ar-fees.arweave.dev.
3. Install the Arweave CLI: github.com/ardriveapp/a...
4. You'll need to export that wallet from Wander, you can get a JSON from it.
5. Create a Drive: `ardrive create-drive --wallet-file your-wallet.json --public --drive-name "Lucky Ghouls"`
6. That's going to return a few values including its ID, you need that ID.
7. Upload your images: `ardrive upload-file --local-path /your-images --parent-folder-id <DRIVE_ID> --wallet-file your-wallet.json`
8. This will put `your-images` in your Drive.
9. Create a Manifest: ardrive create-manifest -f <DRIVE_ID> --wallet-file your-wallet.json
Great! Now all your images are accessible in that single directory. e.g, zk2wipqvqlavjz3tdh4hz6ibye3w5anz3b7bqbed3oqbzyoqnncq.arweave.net/yrVkPhWCwVTn...
NOW DO THE WHOLE THING AGAIN WITH YOUR JSON, and finally set that root directory as the baseURI on your contract.

Here's a nice video if you want to use the ArDrive UI;

IPFS used to have a really nice native desktop drag and drop uploader. Be awesome to have something like that! It was from nft.storage
