Heroku Bash How-to

Heroku offers PaaS with a generous free-tier of 550 hours/month without requiring any credit-card validation. Official support is for Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby etc. But what if you just need to run a bash script, may be a netcat based server? Or you simply need to serve a webpage over http or https, and all you know is bash? (Of course you can also use the free services of x10hosting.com for the latter.)

Here are some simple steps to deploy a bash-script at Heroku.

Open a Heroku account
Download the Heroku CLI
git init the directory that contains your bash script
heroku login
