heroku-buildpack-graphicsmagick

Use the latest version of GraphicsMagick (1.3.23) inside Heroku.

Usage

Insert the buildback before the main buildpack for your application:

heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 https://github.com/mcollina/heroku-buildpack-graphicsmagick.git

The next time you push your application it should install graphicsmagick before your application buildpack.

For more info see: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/using-multiple-buildpacks-for-an-app

Hacking

To change this buildpack, fork it on Github. Push up changes to your fork, then create a test app with --buildpack <your-github-url> and push to it.

To change the vendored binaries for ImageMagick, use the helper scripts in the support/ subdirectory. You'll need an S3-enabled AWS account and a bucket to store your binaries in. The bucket name and imagemagick version are stored in the configs.sh file, so update it there (if you plan to contribute back to this repo, do this in a separate commit).

To rebuild the ImageMagick package, you can:

$ export AWS_ID=xxx AWS_SECRET=yyy
$ s3 create $S3_BUCKET
$ support/package_graphicsmagick

Commit and push the changes to your buildpack to your Github fork, then push your sample app to Heroku to test. You should see:

-----> Downloading graphicsmagick YOUR_IMAGE_MAGICK_VERSION_HERE

There is also a Vagrantfile which can be used with Vagrant to build a cedar-14 virtual machine using Heroku's own open-source provisioning scripts. This allows you to build and test your changes in a local VM with a shared filesystem rather than having to push your changes up to Github and building on Heroku.

To build with VMs install Vagrant and then run vagrant up. Once it completes you will have a VM named cedar-14. Vagrant by default will map your project folder to /vagrant on the VM's filesystem.

Heroku Cedar

Heroku dropped the cedar stack on November 4th, 2015. If you still need to run this buildpack on cedar for whatever reason you can do by referencing an older version of the buildpack:

heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 https://github.com/mcollina/heroku-buildpack-graphicsmagick.git#35f87dd
