Deploying on Heroku

Install Heroku cli
Login into your heroku account with command:

heroku login

Create a new heroku app:

heroku create appname

Select This App in your Heroku-cli:

heroku git:remote -a appname

Change Dyno Stack to a Docker Container:

heroku stack:set container

Add Private Credentials and Config Stuff:

git add -f credentials.json token.pickle config.env heroku.yml

Commit new changes:

git commit -m "Added Creds."

Push Code to Heroku:

git push heroku master --force

Restart Worker by these commands:

heroku ps:scale worker=0

heroku ps:scale worker=1

Heroku-Note: Doing authorizations ( /authorize command ) through telegram wont be permanent as heroku uses ephemeral filesystem. They will be reset on each dyno boot. As a workaround you can:

Make a file authorized_chats.txt and write the user names and chat_id of you want to authorize, each separated by new line
Then force add authorized_chats.txt to git and push it to heroku

git add authorized_chats.txt -f
git commit -asm "Added hardcoded authorized_chats.txt"
git push heroku heroku:master

Deploying on Server

Start docker daemon (skip if already running):

sudo dockerd

Build Docker image:

sudo docker build . -t search-bot

Run the image:

sudo docker run search-bot
