This is a Heroku buildpack for Zotonic sites. Use it for easy and free deployments of Zotonic sites. The buildpack will automatically provision a dev database and configure your Zotonic site to use it.
NOTICE: The git repo to push should only contain a Zotonic site, not the whole Zotonic source.
$ heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL="https://github.com/cstar/heroku-buildpack-zotonic.git" -a YOUR_APP
or
$ heroku create --buildpack "https://github.com/cstar/heroku-buildpack-zotonic.git"
Set the following environment variables :
ADMIN_PASSWORD (That's the admin password, obviously)
The Erlang/OTP release version that will be used to build and run your application is now sourced from a dotfile called .preferred_otp_version. It needs to be the branch or tag name from the http://github.com/erlang/otp repository, and further, needs to be one of the versions that precompiled binaries are available for.
Currently supported OTP versions:
- master (R15B02 pre)
- master-pu (R16B pre)
- OTP_R15B
- OTP_R15B01
- OTP_R15B02
To select the version for your app:
$ echo OTP_R15B01 > .preferred_otp_version
$ git commit "Select R15B01 as preferred OTP version" .preferred_otp_version
$ git push heroku master
You may need to write a new commit and push if your code was already up to date.
Select the Zotonic version to deploy. Currently fetches master.
Fetches deps and rebuilds all Zotonic on each deploys, should use the build cache to only recompile the necessary bits.
IMPORTANT: All file uploads go to the transient file system, meaning that everything is destroyed on each deploys. These assets should go to S3 or similar.
Pull requests are very welcome.
Geoff Cant for writing the base heroku-buildpack-erlang, the starting point of this buildpack. And the Zotonic and Heroku guys.
