buffalo-heroku

This is a plugin for https://gobuffalo.io that makes working with Heroku easier.

It assumes you are using Docker to deploy to Heroku. It is recommended you read https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/container-registry-and-runtime first.

Installation

$ go get -u -v github.com/markbates/buffalo-heroku

Pre-Requisites

• You should absolutely have read https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/container-registry-and-runtime first.
• You should have the Heroku CLI installed https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli.

Setup

The buffalo heroku setup command will setup and create a new Heroku app for you, with a bunch of defaults that I find nice.

Flags/Options

There are a lot of flags and options you can use to tweak the Heroku app you create. Use the --help flag to see a list of them all.

$ buffalo heroku setup

Interactive Mode

If you are unsure of what you're doing, you can use the -i flag to enter interactive mode. This will ask you questions and give you menus of choices to select from.

Deploying

The initial setup command will do a deploy at the end, but after that you'll want to use the buffalo heroku deploy command to push a new version of your application, it'll even try to run your migrations for you.

$ buffalo heroku deploy
