Deploying and Updating MediaWiki on Heroku

This is a very rough guide to deploying and updating MediaWiki on Heroku. Lots of assumptions are made. Be sure to keep your MediaWiki deployment up-to-date!

Assumptions

• A GitHub account.
• A Heroku account.
• A configured app on Heroku.
• A MySQL (or compatible database. This guide assumes the use of Cleardb Heroku add-on).
• Optional add-on: Hosted Graphite.
• Optional add-on: Papertrail.
