🚀 Getting started with Strapi

This repository contains a basic Strapi application which is quickly and easily deployable on Heroku through a one-click deploy button

Requirements

To deploy this project on Heroku, you'll need:

  • An Heroku account (Free)
  • A Cloudinary account for hosting your assets (Free)

Database

This project will use the postgresql Heroku addons. The database configuration can be found in the config/database.js file. Using the existing configuration means that you project will also use the production postgresql database when running locally on your machine. You will need to have the same DATABASE_URL that the addon will create on your Heroku project if you want to use the postresql database locally.

  • Create an .env file at the root of your project containing the following code:
DATABASE_URL=...

If you want to use an SQLite database just for editing your collection-types, configurations locally on your machine, please comment the postgresql configuration in the config/database.js file and uncomment the SQLite one. You can also create a config/env/production/database.js file containing the postgresql connection and only keep the SQLite connection in your config/database.js. This way you'll have two different database connection depending on the environment.

Upload

This project will upload your assets on your Cloudinary account. The configuration can be found in the config/plugins.js file. Using the existing configuration means that you project will also use the cloudinary upload provider when running locally on your machine. You will need to have the same CLOUDINARY_NAME, CLOUDINARY_KEY and CLOUDINARY_SECRET variables in an .env file locally on your machine.

  • Create an .env file at the root of your project containing the following code:
CLOUDINARY_NAME=...
CLOUDINARY_KEY=...
CLOUDINARY_SECRET=...

If you want to upload your assets on your computer when running locally on your machine, please comment the content of your config/plugins.js file. You can also create a config/env/production/plugins.js file containing the cloudinary provider and delete your config/plugins.js. This way you'll have two different upload providers depending on the environment.
