Heroku

1 – On Heroku Dashboard, create an app named socrates

2 – On Heroku Dashboard, Go to Settings -> Buildpacks then add

hashnuke/elixir

and

https://github.com/gjaldon/heroku-buildpack-phoenix-static.git

3 – In your app’s root directory, create the git remote

heroku git:remote -a socrates

4 – In your app’s root directory, create the config files

$ echo 'elixir_version=1.12.2' > elixir_buildpack.config
$ echo 'erlang_version=24.0.3' >> elixir_buildpack.config
$ echo 'node_version=10.20.1' > phoenix_static_buildpack.config

5 – In your assets/package.json (create the file if you don’t have it otherwise it won’t serve the JS and CSS)

{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    "deploy": "cd .. && mix assets.deploy && rm -f _build/esbuild"
  }
  ...
}

6 – In your config/prod.exs, replace the url: line with

url: [scheme: "https", host: "socrates.herokuapp.com", port: 443],
force_ssl: [rewrite_on: [:x_forwarded_proto]],

7 – In your config/runtime.xs uncomment ssl: true

ssl: true

8 – In lib/socrates_web/endpoint.ex add the following in the socket line

websocket: [timeout: 45_000]

9 – Generate secret key

mix phx.gen.secret

10 – Set the resulting key onto Heroku

heroku config:set SECRET_KEY_BASE="longsecretkey"

11 – Commit to git and push to Heroku

git push heroku master

12 – Create database after the app has been deployed

heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev
heroku config:set POOL_SIZE=10
heroku run "POOL_SIZE=2 mix ecto.migrate"
heroku run "POOL_SIZE=2 mix run priv/repo/seeds.exs"

Gigalixir

1 – Create an app through the terminal

gigalixir create -n socrates

2 – Create the config files

$ echo 'elixir_version=1.10.3' > elixir_buildpack.config
$ echo 'erlang_version=22.3' >> elixir_buildpack.config
$ echo 'node_version=12.16.3' > phoenix_static_buildpack.config

3 – In your assets/package.json

{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    "deploy": "cd .. && mix assets.deploy && rm -f _build/esbuild"
  }
  ...
}

4 – Deploy

git push gigalixir 

5 – Create, migrate, and seed the database

gigalixir pg:create --free
gigalixir run mix ecto.migrate
gigalixir run mix run priv/repo/seeds.exs

6 – To reset the database, go to the Gigilixir dashboard, scale down the app, delete the database, then scale the app back to 1, then do step 5
