# Running Fathom on Heroku
Please follow the instructions [outlined here](https://github.com/usefathom/fathom/issues/59#issuecomment-413535914).
### Requirements
* heroku cli (logged in)
* git
* curl
* wget
* tar are required
* ~ openssl is required to generate the secret_key, but you're free to use what you want
### Create the app
First you need to choose a unique app name, as Heroku generates a subdomain for your app.
* create the app via the buildpack
```bash
heroku create UNIQUE_APP_NAME --buildpack https://github.com/ph3nx/heroku-binary-buildpack.git
```
* locally clone the newly created app
```bash
heroku git:clone -a UNIQUE_APP_NAME
cd UNIQUE_APP_NAME
```
* create the folder that will contain fathom
```bash
mkdir -p bin
```
* download latest version of fathom for linux 64bit
```bash
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/usefathom/fathom/releases/latest \
| grep browser_download_url \
| grep linux_amd64.tar.gz \
| cut -d '"' -f 4 \
| wget -qi - -O- \
| tar --directory bin -xz - fathom
```
* create the Procfile for Heroku
```bash
echo "web: bin/fathom server" > Procfile
```
* create a Postgres database (you can change the type of plan if you want - https://elements.heroku.com/addons/heroku-postgresql#pricing)
```bash
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev
```
* update the environment variables, generate a secret_key
here you can change the way you generate your secret_key.
```bash
heroku config:set PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/app/bin \
FATHOM_DATABASE_DRIVER=postgres \
FATHOM_DATABASE_URL=$(heroku config:get DATABASE_URL) \
FATHOM_DEBUG=true \
FATHOM_SECRET= $(openssl rand -base64 32) \
FATHOM_GZIP=true
```
* add, commit and push all our files
```bash
git add --all
git commit -m "First Commit"
git push heroku master
```
* the created app runs as a free-tier. A free-tier dyno uses the account-based pool
of free dyno hours. If you have other free dynos running, you will need to upgrade your app to a 'hobby' one. - https://www.heroku.com/pricing
```bash
heroku dyno:resize hobby
```
* check that everything is working
```bash
heroku run fathom --version
```
* add the first user
```bash
heroku run fathom user add --email="test@test.com" --password="test_password"
```
* open the browser to login and add your first website
```bash
heroku open
```
* ENJOY :)
