🚀 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

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

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

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.

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.
