Simple NES NodeJS Heroku Buildpack

A simple demonstration of how to run NES on Heroku.

Create your buildpack.

To run a custom Node distribution on Heroku, take advangage of the custom buildpack support they have.

This repo demonstrates how you would do so, with the only files needed being the two scripts in ./bin/ of this repository. These scripts are only meant to be used as examples, but demonstrate you can parameterize parameters such as the desired Node version and your NES Access Token as needed.

The instructions below assume you've appropriately published your buildpack at https://github.com/example-company/example-nes-buildpack.git.

Please see the Heroku documentation for more information.

Deploying your application

1. Setup an .envrc file with your local secrets (see .envrc-example for notes)

2. Ensure .envrc values are loaded in your environment:

source .envrc

3. Create your heroku app (if needed):

heroku create $HEROKU_APP

4. Set your NES token to your app:

heroku config:set NES_TOKEN="$NES_TOKEN" -a $HEROKU_APP
heroku config:set NES_NODE_VERSION="$NES_NODE_VERSION" -a $HEROKU_APP
heroku buildpacks:set $BUILDPACK_REPO -a $HEROKU_APP
