4. Hosting on the cloud (Heroku)

Hosting on the cloud

If you prefer to have the server available at all times, you can spin it up on a hosted cloud provider. Here, I'll be showing you how to do it with Heroku and the Heroku CLI tool. This is not a Heroku tutorial, it is expected that you know the basics of Heroku, so I won't be going much in details.

Using Heroku

Navigate to a forked version of the repository and run the following commands.

1. Create a new Heroku app

heroku create

2. Add FFMPEG to your app

heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 https://github.com/jonathanong/heroku-buildpack-ffmpeg-latest.git

3. Push your code to Heroku

git push heroku master
