ports on heroku

Hey, great kit. Really blows the rest of them out of the water. I’m attempting to run on heroku. I’ve given up trying to get heroku to do a npm run build and am just building locally and pushing dist.

Here’s my question. Heroku sets the port dynamically for web processes through process.env.PORT so i added it in kit/lib/env.js

const defaultPorts = {
  production: {
    server: process.env.PORT,
  },
  development: {
    browser: 8080,
    server: 8081,
  },
};

heroku gives me this error, with the same 4000 port. nothing changed. any ideas?

what am I doing wrong? thanks in advance.

@Kamill90 Don’t worry about your local dist folder. One way to deploy your app to Heroku is to push your code to Heroku through git. Heroku will build and deploy it. Here’s how to set things up: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs#introduction

FYI, I used Heroku’s container registry and runtime to deploy, no port config needed:

1. If you haven’t already done so, create new Heroku app:

heroku create YOUR_APP_NAME

1. Build Docker image:

docker build -t registry.heroku.com/YOUR_APP_NAME/web .

1. Push Docker image to Heroku registry:

docker push registry.heroku.com/YOUR_APP_NAME/web

1. Release the pushed image to the web process:

heroku container:release web -a YOUR_APP_NAME
