- heroku cli (logged in)
- git
- curl
- wget
- tar are required
- ~ openssl is required to generate the secret_key, but you're free to use what you want
First you need to choose a unique app name, as Heroku generates a subdomain for your app.
- 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 fathom
mkdir -p bin- download latest version of fathom for linux 64bit
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 (you can change the type of plan if you want - https://elements.heroku.com/addons/heroku-postgresql#pricing)
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev- update the environment variables, generate a secret_key
here you can change the way you generate your 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 master- the created app runs as a free-tier. A free-tier dyno uses the account-based pool of free dyno hours. If you have other free dynos running, you will need to upgrade your app to a 'hobby' one. - https://www.heroku.com/pricing
heroku dyno:resize hobby- check that everything is working
heroku run fathom --version- add the first user
heroku run fathom user add --email="[email protected]" --password="test_password"- open the browser to login and add your first website
heroku open- ENJOY :)
