[FR] Run appflowy on Heroku

[lays147]

1~3 main use cases of the proposed feature It would be nice to have a setup to run appflowy on Heroku. I'm trying to do that by using the Docker image, but no luck. On the web exists tutorials about pushing rust and flutter to heroku, but not both together, but I'm sure that could be a way. I may try, but for the ones that know the codebase could be easier? :smiley:

what types of users can benefit from using your proposed feature Everyone that want to give a try to AppFlowy.

I'd like to take this on if possible

Sure, thank you for giving it a shot. If you have quick questions, please reach out to me on Discord.

Yep, with one button deploy everybody would be able to run own instance in no time and no much effort!

@Driesvanherpe hello, any update on this?

I might be misunderstanding this, but AppFlowy is not a web application yet - right now, it is only for desktop. Therefore, I don't know how you would deploy it to Heroku, which to my understanding, is a platform for web apps.

Chiming in here to ditto what @Poly-Pixel says. I initially thought it was a web-based app too, but this currently only builds for desktop, so that's not the case.

When a web implementation becomes common, we should make it docker-based ASAP.

I might be wrong, why not use firebase?

[annieappflowy]

for heroku, we probably need a web version of AppFlowy the platform does not run native app. I think you could possibly deploy AppFlowy Cloud there
