Heroku San

Helpful rake tasks for Heroku.

Install

Rails 3+

Add this to your Gemfile:

ruby
  group :development do
    gem 'heroku_san'
  end

Rails 2

To install add the following to config/environment.rb:

ruby
  config.gem 'heroku_san'

Rake tasks are not automatically loaded from gems, so you’ll need to add the following to your Rakefile:

ruby
  begin
    require 'heroku_san/tasks'
  rescue LoadError
    STDERR.puts "Run `rake gems:install` to install heroku_san"
  end

Sinatra

Update your Gemfile:

ruby
  group :development do
    gem 'heroku_san'
  end

Update your Rakefile:

ruby
  require "bundler/setup"
  begin
    require "heroku_san"
    config_file = File.join(File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__)), 'config', 'heroku.yml')
    HerokuSan.project = HerokuSan::Project.new(config_file, :deploy => HerokuSan::Deploy::Sinatra)
    load "heroku_san/tasks.rb"
  rescue LoadError
    # The gem shouldn't be installed in a production environment
  end

Configure

In config/heroku.yml you will need to add the Heroku apps that you would like to attach to this project. You can generate this file by running:

Rails 3+

sh
  rails generate heroku_san

Everything else

sh
  rake heroku:create_config

Customize the file for your project. If this is a fresh project, heroku_san can create all the applications for you, and set each one's RACK_ENV.

sh
  rake all heroku:create heroku:rack_env

Configure your Heroku apps according to config/heroku.yml by running:

sh
  rake all heroku:config

Usage

After configuring your Heroku apps you can use rake tasks to control the
apps.

sh
  rake production deploy

A rake task with the shorthand name of each app is now available and adds that
server to the list that subsequent commands will execute on. Because this list
is additive, you can easily select which servers to run a command on.

sh
  rake demo staging restart

A special rake task 'all' is created that causes any further commands to
execute on all Heroku apps.

sh
  rake all restart

Need to add remotes for each app?

rake all heroku:remotes

A full list of tasks provided:

sh
  rake heroku:addons                # Install addons for the application.
  rake heroku:addons:local          # List configured addons, without installing them
  rake heroku:apps                  # Lists configured apps
  rake heroku:apps:local            # Lists configured apps without hitting heroku
