I just finished getting my open source forum/blog/chat app working on Heroku last night. I included deployment instructions in the README:
http://github.com/trevorturk/eldorado/tree/master I'm really impressed with Heroku so far. There's a _huge_ difference between a Heroku deployment and setting up your own VPS at Slicehost or what have you. I don't think that knowledgeable Ruby/Rails developers realize how complicated deployment can be, even with recent improvements like Passenger. I've had people bail on this app because of deployment hassles and use Drupal instead. That's just not cool ;) I did some stuff to make installation and deployment as easy as possible, so please do check the app out and let me know what you think. I'd be interested to hear if other people have different strategies for making Heroku deployment even easier. The only things that stand out as a pain are the s3 and email constraints, but even those are just minor inconveniences. It's much easier to set up an s3 account than it is to install ruby enterprise, passenger, etc etc etc. - Trevor --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
