Run Django database migrations after deploy to Heroku. This file must live at `bin/post_compile` within your root project directory.

i think you can just use the release command in your Procfile
for exemple to migrate :

release: python manage.py migrate
web: gunicorn django_proj.wsgi --log-file -

or runs a script :

release: ./ post_compile.sh
web: gunicorn django_proj.wsgi --log-file -

the command release runs after :

  • A successful app build
  • A change to the value of a config var (unless the config var is associated with an add-on)
  • A pipeline promotion
  • A rollback
  • A release via the platform API
  • Provisioning a new add-on

Just do:

release: python manage.py migrate --no-input
web: gunicorn project_name.wsgi

and you will be fine.
