How do I deploy Engelsystem on HEROKU

Steps

  • We need to install heroku on our machine. Type the following in your linux terminal:
    • wget -O- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install-ubuntu.sh | sh This installs the Heroku Toolbelt on your machine to access heroku from the command line.
  • Next we need to login to our heroku server (assuming that you have already created an account). Type the following in the terminal:
    • heroku login
    • Enter your credentials and login.
  • Once logged in we need to create a space on the heroku server for our application. This is done with the following command
    • heroku create
  • Prepare the app
    • git clone --recursive https://github.com/fossasia/engelsystem.git
    • cd engelsystem/
  • Once the app is ready, we need to create a composer.json in order to be recognized as a PHP application.We need to declare all app dependencies in composer.json
  • Now PHP app is detected, we need to create a heroku app
    • $ heroku create
  • After creating heroku app, we need to migrate the database.
    • $ heroku addons:create cleardb:ignite
  • Now retrieve your new ClearDB database URL by issuing the following command:
    • $ heroku config | grep CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL
    • CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL: mysql://bda37eff166954:[email protected]/heroku_3c94174e0cc6cd8?reconnect=true
  • Now we need to import the tables to the heroku database
    • $mysql -u bda37eff166954 -h us-cdbr-iron-east-04.cleardb.net -p heroku_3c94174e0cc6cd8
    • mysql> source [path to engelsystem]/engelsystem/db/install.sql;
    • mysql> source [path to engelsystem]/engelsystem/db/update.sql;
    • mysql> exit;
  • Defining a Procfile. Your Procfile will contain the below line
    • web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 public/
  • Now since we have defined the composer.json, Procfile and migrated the database.
  • Then we deploy the code to heroku.
    • git push heroku master or
    • git push heroku yourbranch:master if you are in a different branch than master
  • Now the app will be successfully deployed on heroku and can be viewed online.
