A barebones Ruby on Rails app, which can easily be deployed to Heroku.

This application supports the tutorials for both the Cedar and Fir generations of the Heroku platform. You can check them out here:

• Getting Started on Heroku with Ruby
• Getting Started on Heroku Fir with Ruby

Make sure you have Ruby and the Heroku CLI installed.

$ git clone https://github.com/heroku/ruby-getting-started
$ cd ruby-getting-started
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate
$ heroku local

Your app should now be running on localhost:5006.

Using resources for this example app counts towards your usage. Delete your app and database as soon as you are done experimenting to control costs.

Ensure you're in the correct directory:

$ ls -1
app
app.json
bin
config
config.ru
db
Gemfile
Gemfile.lock
lib
log
Procfile
public
Rakefile
README.md
test
tmp
vendor

By default, apps use Eco dynos if you are subscribed to Eco. Otherwise, it defaults to Basic dynos. The Eco dynos plan is shared across all Eco dynos in your account and is recommended if you plan on deploying many small apps to Heroku. Learn more about our low-cost plans here.

Eligible students can apply for platform credits through our new Heroku for GitHub Students program.

$ heroku create
$ git push heroku main
$ heroku open

By default, apps on Fir use 1X-Classic dynos. To create an app on Fir you'll need to create a private space first.

$ heroku create --space <space-name>
$ git push heroku main
$ heroku ps:wait
$ heroku open
