Heroku staging app setup

Setup

1. Create a new heroku dyno name staging

   heroku create <appname-staging> --remote <staging>
   

2. Push master branch to remote git

   git push <staging> master
   

   Push other branch to remote git

   git push -f <staging> <branch name>:master
   

3. Check a Postgres server

   heroku pg:info --app <appname-staging>
   

   If no Postgres server, add it

   heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql --app <appname-staging>
   

4. Set ALL the config variables (following are just part of them)

   heroku config:set BUNDLE_WITHOUT=development:test --app <appname-staging>
   heroku config:set RACK_ENV=production --app <appname-staging>
   

5. DB migration

   heroku run rake db:migrate --app <appname-staging>
   

6. Restart & Open

   heroku restart --app <appname-staging>
   

   Open

   heroku open --app <appname-staging>
   

7. Check staging app status

   heroku ps --app <appname-staging>
   

Note

1. Do we need to add the staging ENV setting?
2. If delete the staging app, check that removing the git remote -v or not. If git remove didn't remove, we can use the same staging app name and same git remote. Or to change staging app name and the git remote

   git remote rm <staging>
   git remote add <staging> https://git.heroku.com/<newappname-staging>.git
   git push <staging> master
