Re: Could an admin add a subject prefix to this list, like [heroku]
There is usually good reason why lists don't prefix. Line noise on the subject line being one of them, also the availability of advanced e-mail clients that can do powerful filtering. For instance, in GMail, which both of you use, I can set a filter to label all my Heroku posts. Hence, subject prefixing becomes redundant, and also very irritating when you are trying to identify old messages visually. regards, Richard On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 11:07 PM, Miles Smith wed...@gmail.com wrote: I second this.

Re: Heroku on serious applications and lack of support

We're seriously considering migrating to EY from Heroku at the moment because primarily of the support that is available from EY when it's needed. That just seems to make some really sound business sense: Provide an option for paid support that is not locked into the size of the app, which seems to be the OPs main problem - his paid app is not spendy enough to warrant higher levels of support. -- http://richardconroy.blogspot.com | http://twitter.com/RichardConroy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Heroku group.

Re: Heroku vs Google App Engine (GAE) + DJANGO
On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 4:35 PM, nobosh bhellm...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I'm a long-time ColdFusion developer looking to finally move to something better. I've been exploring Google App Engine with DJANGO, but haven't been blown away. Google App Engine will also support Rails via JRuby, though I wouldn't consider it a mainstream solution, or something I would recommend to newbies. I don't see a lot of activity on Google App Engine (that could be my reading list though). Its a good solution, price competitive with a good free quota, but I think people get a bit put off by the persistence back end (Big Table). I am not overly familiar with Django, but I believe it uses the ActiveRecord pattern (just like Rails) for its persistence back end. ActiveRecord and BigTable are not a good fit apparently, so it may explain why GAE/Django development is not as popular as it should be. Google App Engine lends itself more to unopinionated frameworks which allow you more freedom for what you use in your persistence layer. i.e. Ruby/Sinatra using the BigTable APIs directly (via JRuby) might be a better fit. I recently learned of Heroku + ROR and find myself to be at a fork in the road. Any compelling case on why I should go with Heroku versus App Engine + DJANGO? Simplicity. Heroku works. It imposes the least amount of constraints on your web apps architecture: * You push code to heroku with Git * You have to use external services (e.g. S3) for writable file storage * You must have a rackup file * You must document your gem (external code) dependencies If you are making a ruby web app nowadays, you are likely satisfying most of those constraints anyway. It is common for people to push their apps to heroku very quickly and find that they Just Work (tm). Where to Heroku + ROR users go for support? If it's these forms it's concerning that there's low activity from a newbie perspective. In any case, I'm curious to hear your thoughts so I can settle on a tech stack and get coding Visit the Heroku site itself http://heroku.com the documentation is up to date and thorough. With many awkward edge cases properly documented.

Re: how to use a command-line utility?
On Mon, Aug 9, 2010 at 6:41 PM, Jacob Hodes jho...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'm developing a Rails app that makes use of a command-line tool called Graphviz (http://www.graphviz.org). Changes get made in the Rails app, then a background job is fired which runs graphviz as a system command. graphviz generates a graph and saves it to a file. Then I upload the file back into my Rails app. I know Heroku's filesystem is read-only, no ssh access, etc. Given these limitations, what's the best approach to take? I see I can use S3 for file storage. But how about finding a way to use this command-line utility? I'm highly doubting Heroku would install such a thing, right? Any alternative ideas? One idea I can think of is to wrap GraphViz in a web service and install it in a seperate hosting service. An alternative idea: Heroku lets you use sqlite/memory databases. Its not a supported option, but they do work, and I would say the limitations are severe (I doubt Delayed Jobs would see them). You could upload the information that GraphViz needs to process into the DB. I am uncertain how you could get the GraphViz CLI app to use it, but perhaps GraphViz has a library/gem which has less restrictive use?

Re: Workflow to allow heroku to install a 'private' (local) gem on deploy

Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciate. Like it has been suggested, I think you can go the bundler route. Alternatively, if you maintain your public source repository, you can use the --source option to distribute your gems that way. Instructions on how to do this are here: http://docs.heroku.com/gems Running your own gem server in this fashion doesn't appear to be particularly hard: http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/18#page80 You could then reference it from your .gems manifest with the --source argument But in your case, you do not want that distributed and it would need to be secure. There doesn't seem to be good documentation on how to use a https --source argument or how to pass authentication credentials. May not be possible. Which would be a shame, because the process you are describing, of using in house gems in this manner is a habit of very effective Ruby teams: you don't just DRY up your project code, you DRY up common code across projects by refactoring to gems. Bundler might be the future, but its a bit of a heavyweight solution for some people (not to mention being a bit beta) -- http://richardconroy.blogspot.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Heroku group.

Re: EXIF support on Heroku?

Most EXIF parsing gems are wrappers for libraries that aren't available on the Heroku stack. (And we can't install these libraries manually as you'd normally do on a VPS.) You can install non-standard gems on heroku. You need to look into updating your .gems file manifest. It can be a bit tricky if your gem has dependencies that are not part of the heroku stack. It will compile native gems for you (within reason - no Win32 gems for instance) and generally works pretty well. It can make your app size very big though, and can make deploy times very lengthy. -- http://richardconroy.blogspot.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Heroku group.

Issues trying to push app to heroku (windows)
Hi I have been following the setup instructions to get a simple sinatra app up and running.

However when I attempt to push my code to heroku I get this error: git push heroku master Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly I have managed to get through other steps, heroku create successfully created my app, and my public key was accepted. Also heroku key:add still works Can anyone tell me what is going on here?

Re: Issues trying to push app to heroku (windows)
Okay, I think I made some progress. First tip: Use the Git Bash shell client that gets installed with Git. Generate your private keys with $ ssh-keygen -t rsa And copy them to your /.ssh directory Make sure you do any of this before you execute any of the heroku commands. Then perform heroku create and git push heroku master as expected Skip any of the PuTTygen hijinks It got my app pushed, I just now have to debug why Heroku isn't recognising my rack config (which is a much more straightforward problem).
