The sample application show how to deploy a Meteor application using PhantomJS on the PaaS Scalingo
This sample is currently deprecated and will not be maintained anymore because the PhantomJS development is suspended.
The spiderable meteor package requires phantomjs to be available to work correctly.
The phantomjs binary is not installed by default in the application environment, so
you have to install it as dependency of your application. The package
dfischer:phantomjs provides a wrapper
around the NPM module phantomjs which installs the correct binary.
Another known issue is that the spiderable package is not working correctly in a dockerized
environment: meteor/meteor#2429. Hopefully, the community has developed
an alternative package which works as expected: ongoworks:spiderable
meteor create sample-meteor-phantomjs
cd sample-meteor-phantomjs
meteor add ongoworks:spiderable
meteor add dfischer:phantomjs
git init
git add .
git commit -m "meteor project with PhantomJS"
scalingo create spiderable-app
git push scalingo masterAt the end of the process, you can access your project. If you have a look at the source,
you'll essentialy see a <script> tag including the meteor application
However, if you go to the following URL:

You can see by looking at the generated HTML that PhantomJS has correctly run, the page contains the text of the content. Ready to be indexed.
