-
heroku cli + git + curl + wget + tar are required
-
openssl is required to generate the secret_key, but you can change to something else
-
create the app via the buildpack
heroku create UNIQUE_APP_NAME --buildpack https://github.com/ph3nx/heroku-binary-buildpack.git- locally clone the newly created app
heroku git:clone -a UNIQUE_APP_NAME
cd UNIQUE_APP_NAME- create the folder that will contain our binary
mkdir -p bin- download latest version of fathom
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/usefathom/fathom/releases/latest \
| grep browser_download_url \
| grep linux_amd64.tar.gz \
| cut -d '"' -f 4 \
| wget -qi - -O- \
| tar --directory bin -xz - fathom- create the Procfile for heroku
echo "web: bin/fathom server" > Procfile- create a Postgres database
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev- update the environment variables, generate a secret_key
heroku config:set PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/app/bin \
FATHOM_DATABASE_DRIVER=postgres \
FATHOM_DATABASE_URL=$(heroku config:get DATABASE_URL) \
FATHOM_DEBUG=true \
FATHOM_SECRET= $(openssl rand -base64 32) \
FATHOM_GZIP=true- add, commit and push all our files
git add --all
git commit -m "First Commit"
git push heroku masterheroku ps:scale web=1
- a free-tier dyno uses the hours pool, if you have other free dynos running, you will need to upgrade to a hobby
heroku dyno:resize hobby- check if everything works
heroku run fathom --version- add the first user
heroku run fathom user add --email="test@test.com" --password="test_password"- open the browser to connect and create your first website
heroku open- ENJOY :)
This is awesome! Thank you!
One minor correction: The command to set
FATHOM_SECREThas an errant space before the$This works:
FATHOM_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32) \
