.. note::
If you don't have an account on Heroku, you need to sign up on Heroku. You won't need a credit card, and once you
sign up you'll be redirected to your Heroku app creation page automatically.

Heroku's free Postgres add-on is automatically provisioned.
.. _heroku_cli_deployment:
Option 2: Deploy via Heroku CLI
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Follow these instructions to create a new Heroku app with a Postgres add-on using the Heroku CLI.
Step 1: Clone the Hasura GraphQL engine Heroku app
**************************************************
The Hasura app with Heroku buildpack/configuration is available at:
https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-heroku
Step 2: Create an app with **--stack=container**
************************************************
Use the `Heroku CLI <https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli>`__ to create a new Heroku app from inside the cloned directory. Let's call
the app ``todo-hasura1``.
.. code-block:: bash
# Replace todo-hasura1 with whatever you'd like your app to be called
$ heroku create todo-hasura1 --stack=container
Creating ⬢ todo-hasura1... done, stack is container
https://todo-hasura1.herokuapp.com/ | https://git.heroku.com/todo-hasura1.git
**Note**:
- ``HEROKU_GIT_REMOTE``: `https://git.heroku.com/todo-hasura1.git`
- ``HEROKU_APP_URL``: `https://todo-hasura1.herokuapp.com/`
Step 3: Create the Heroku Postgres add-on
*****************************************
Create the Postgres add-on in your Heroku app.
.. code-block:: bash
$ heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev -a todo-hasura1
Creating heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev on ⬢ todo-hasura1... free
Database has been created and is available
! This database is empty. If upgrading, you can transfer
! data from another database with pg:copy
Created postgresql-angular-20334 as DATABASE_URL
Use heroku addons:docs heroku-postgresql to view documentation
Step 4: **git push** to deploy
******************************
Remember to change ``HEROKU_GIT_REMOTE`` to your git remote below. In our case:
``https://git.heroku.com/todo-hasura1.git``.
.. code-block:: bash
$ git init && git add .
$ git commit -m "first commit"
$ git remote add heroku <HEROKU_GIT_REMOTE>
$ git push heroku master
Visit ``https://todo-hasura1.herokuapp.com`` (replace ``todo-hasura1`` with your app name) and
you should see the Hasura console.
.. _heroku_existing_db:
Deploying using an existing Postgres DB
---------------------------------------
Let's say you have an existing `Heroku Postgres <https://www.heroku.com/postgres>`__ database with data in it, and you'd
like to add GraphQL to it.
.. contents::
:backlinks: none
:depth: 1
:local:
.. note::
As you're exposing an existing database, please :ref:`configure an admin secret <heroku_secure>`
to prevent public access of the console and the GraphQL endpoint.
Option 1: Via Heroku UI
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Step 1: Deploy Hasura on Heroku
*******************************
Deploy Hasura on Heroku as described in :ref:`this section <heroku_one_click>`.
Step 2: Remove the created Postgres add-on in the app
*****************************************************
Head to your Heroku dashboard and delete the Postgres add-on created in the previous step:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/core/deployment/delete-heroku-postgres-addon.png
:alt: Delete the Postgres add-on
Step 3: Configure environment variables
***************************************
Now configure the ``DATABASE_URL`` with your existing Heroku Postgres database URL and a ``HASURA_GRAPHQL_ADMIN_SECRET``
if you want to :ref:`secure your endpoint <heroku_secure>`.
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/core/deployment/heroku-database-access-url.png
:alt: Configure environment variables
.. note::
The Hasura GraphQL engine needs access permissions to your Postgres database as described in
:ref:`Postgres permissions <postgres_permissions>`.
Step 4: Track tables and relationships
**************************************
Wait for the GraphQL engine to restart and then see :ref:`schema_existing_db` to enable GraphQL
over the database.
Option 2: Via Heroku CLI
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can set up the Hasura GraphQL engine as a "git push to deploy" app on
`Heroku <https://www.heroku.com/platform>`__ and connect it to a `Heroku Postgres <https://www.heroku.com/postgres>`__
instance.
Step 1: Clone the Hasura GraphQL engine Heroku app
**************************************************
The Hasura app with Heroku buildpack/configuration is available at:
https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-heroku
Step 2: Configure the database URL
**********************************
Edit the command in the ``Dockerfile`` to change which database the Hasura GraphQL engine connects to.
By default, it connects to the primary database in your app which is available at ``DATABASE_URL``.
.. code-block:: dockerfile
:emphasize-lines: 6
FROM hasura/graphql-engine:latest
# Change $DATABASE_URL to your Heroku Postgres URL if you're not using
# the primary Postgres instance in your app
CMD graphql-engine \
--database-url $DATABASE_URL \
serve \
--server-port $PORT \
--enable-console
Read about more configuration options :ref:`here <server_flag_reference>`.
.. note::
Hasura GraphQL engine needs access permissions to your Postgres database as described in
:ref:`Postgres permissions <postgres_permissions>`.
.. _heroku_secure:
Securing the GraphQL endpoint
-----------------------------
To make sure that your GraphQL endpoint and the Hasura console are not publicly accessible, you need to
configure an admin secret key.
Add an admin secret
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Head to the config-vars URL on your Heroku dashboard and set the ``HASURA_GRAPHQL_ADMIN_SECRET`` environment variable.
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/core/deployment/secure-heroku.png
:alt: Add an admin secret
Setting this environment variable will automatically restart the dyno. Now when you access your console, you'll be
prompted for the admin secret key.
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/core/deployment/access-key-console.png
:alt: Prompt for the admin secret
.. note::
The ``HASURA_GRAPHQL_ADMIN_SECRET`` should never be passed from the client to Hasura GraphQL engine as it would
give the client full admin rights to your Hasura instance. See :ref:`auth` for information on
setting up authentication.
(optional) Use the admin secret with the CLI
********************************************
In case you're using the CLI to open the Hasura console, use the ``admin-secret`` flag when you open the console:
.. code-block:: bash
hasura console --admin-secret=myadminsecretkey
.. _heroku_logs:
GraphQL engine server logs
--------------------------
You can use the `Heroku CLI <https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli>`__ to check the logs
of the Hasura GraphQL engine deployed on Heroku:
.. code-block:: bash
$ heroku logs --app <hasura-graphql-engine-app-name>
2018-10-09T11:18:21.306000+00:00 app[web.1]: {"timestamp":"2018-10-09T11:18:21.305+0000", "level":"info", "type":"http-log", "detail":{"status":200, "query_hash":"48c74f902b53a886f9ddc1b7dd12a4a6020d70c3", "http_version":"HTTP/1.1", "query_execution_time":9.477913e-3, "request_id":"b7bb6fb3-97b3-4c6f-a54a-1e0f71a190e9", "url":"/v1/graphql", "user":{"x-hasura-role":"admin"}, "ip":"171.61.77.16", "response_size":15290, "method":"POST", "detail":null}}
...
**See:**
- https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/logging for more details on logging on Heroku.
- :ref:`hge_logs` for more details on Hasura logs
.. _heroku_update:
Updating GraphQL engine
-----------------------
This section will help you update the Hasura GraphQL engine running on Heroku.
The current latest version is:
.. raw:: html
<code>hasura/graphql-engine:<span class="latest-release-tag">latest</span></code>
Update to the latest version
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Step 1: Clone the Hasura GraphQL engine Heroku app
**************************************************
The Hasura app with Heroku buildpack/configuration is available at:
https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-heroku.
Clone the above repository.
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-heroku
cd graphql-engine-heroku
If you already have this, then pull the latest changes which will have the updated GraphQL engine Docker image.
Step 2: Attach your Heroku app
******************************
Let's say your Heroku app is called ``hasura-heroku`` and is running on ``https://hasura-heroku.herokuapp.com``.
From inside the ``graphql-engine-heroku`` directory, use the `Heroku CLI <https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli>`__ to configure the git repo you cloned in Step 1
to be able to push to this app.
.. code-block:: bash
# Replace <hasura-heroku> with your Heroku app's name
heroku git:remote -a <hasura-heroku>
heroku stack:set container -a <hasura-heroku>
You can find your Heroku git repo in your Heroku - Settings - Info - Heroku Git URL
Step 3: **git push** to deploy the latest Hasura GraphQL engine
***************************************************************
When you ``git push`` to deploy, the Heroku app will get updated with the latest changes:
.. code-block:: bash
git push heroku master
Deploy a specific version
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Head to the ``Dockerfile`` in the git repo you cloned in step 1.
Change the ``FROM`` line to the specific version you want. A list of all releases can be found
at https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/releases.
.. code-block:: Dockerfile
:emphasize-lines: 1
FROM hasura/graphql-engine:v1.0.0
...
...
Change ``v1.0.0`` to ``v1.1.0`` for example, commit this and then ``git push heroku master`` to deploy.
.. note::
If you are downgrading to an older version of the GraphQL engine you might need to downgrade your metadata catalogue version
as described in :ref:`downgrade_hge`
