Generate a secret key in Python:

from django.utils.crypto import get_random_string
get_random_string(50, 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*(-_=+)')

Add configuration variables (replace <SECRET-KEY>):

heroku config:set DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=<SECRET-KEY>

Add a production tier PostgreSQL database ($50/mo) to use PostGIS (replace <DATABASE>):

heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:standard-0
heroku pg:wait
heroku pg:psql

In the PostgreSQL shell, run:

CREATE EXTENSION postgis;

To enable the geo buildpack for GeoDjango:

heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git

Use Gemfury to access dependencies in private repositories:

heroku addons:create gemfury:hello

Deploy:

git push heroku dev:master

Setup the database:

heroku run python manage.py migrate --noinput

Create an admin user:

heroku run python manage.py createsuperuser

heroku open

Gemfury

heroku config:get GEMFURY_URL
cd ../complex_fields
python setup.py sdist
