• PostgreSQL database
• Google Cloud Storage account

Create development PostgreSQL database

CREATE ROLE dakdak WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'dakdak';
CREATE DATABASE dakdak WITH OWNER dakdak;

Deploying

<TODO: how-to-deploy-this on Heroku>

Saving for further use; how to setup multi-line environment variable in Heroku (for eg private key):

• Generate you Service Account key from Google Dashboard
• Open the file, copy the attribute private_key from it
• Type echo to console, and paste the private_key after it. You will get the key outputted with proper newlines.
• At least on OSX El Capitan + iTerm2 there was some bug related to setting the key via heroku set:config. Copying the whole content of the echo output will get the key somehow corrupted on Heroku when saved via heroku config:set. My advice is to start the updating of the env var with command heroku config:set DAKDAK_GCS_PRIVATE_KEY=", then copy the first half of the key, and then the second half, and then ending the command with " --app <your-app-name>. (Please note the double quotes). This should work!
