Support for Heroku

[Macleykun]

Status: on hold

In the near future, when the transition from SQLite/MySQL to mongodb is fully working on stable. These docs can be used to host your selfhosted Discord.RSS. The solution provided is also known as a PaaS solution.

Todo:
x Test selfmade instruction.
x Improve steps so everything can be done trough the git bash/heroku cli.

• Discuss placement of Procfile. Include in project or rather download?
  x Issue?: not sure if a web worker is created even if procfile is used at first launch. If so, maybe look if project uses a port to contact the outside world. If using a different project's file. The web worker will work withoud dying in 90seconds.

Provided files can be used if you can't wait for it. But only ping Macley#9105 if you get any troubles.
Procfile you need to instert before ever pushing to heroku: https://mega.nz/#!XY43yT6T!8oyAxGGnv7NZ25IgmNYxrPe4kBdNFk_m4DJTfPv8I6U

Instruction.v1.txt
Tried instruction, found some silly mistakes like mention to the user to copy their files to the heroku folder.
Web worker can't be used. Instead using worker. Made a extra command so users default start the worker. They don't have to worry to stop the bot. They can just keep updating and the app restarts itself.

@synzen could you do a review on this? Sorry if you don't like the format :P

Just tried it and it's working remarkably well. Though it might be prudent to mention that the procfile must be included in directory in the instructions

[Macleykun]

You sure you used the v1 file?
2. Add the all the files (Expect the .git folder) and the procfile into the folder were gonna use to push the files to Heroku.

Says that indeed procfile needs to be added :-)

[synzen]

Ah right my mistake, yeah there it is

[Macleykun]

Btw about that procfile. We could insert the procfile in the git itself. Then people only have to copy paste their files to the folder with the .git to their heroku app.

[synzen]

Insert into git itself?

[Macleykun]

Inside your git project. The discord.rss project i mean.

So users don't have to download that file seperately

[synzen]

ah have it part of the repo. yeah sure. dm me the final version of the procfile and it'll be in the next commit

Closing issue (after docs are up) solution:

The final tested instruction:
