How to host Discord.RSS in Heroku!

How to deploy to Heroku the new way!

Pre-requirements

1. A Heroku account.
2. Have all the credentials you need ready!

Instruction

1. Go to the repo and use the purple looking button to deploy directly to Heroku!
2. Fill in all the details, if you want to host the web dashboard, make sure to also do the following:

• DRSS_WEB_CLIENT_ID
• Get the CLIENT_ID by going here. It should look like: 343394333935336303.
• RSS_WEB_CLIENT_SECRET
• On the same page, copy the client secret.
• DRSS_WEB_ENABLED
• Set this to true. To enable the web part.
• DRSS_WEB_REDIRECT_URI
• Given the name you want to give to your app, make sure to replace APPNAME with yours! https://APPNAME.herokuapp.com/authorize. If you decide to use a domain, change the APPNAME.herokuapp.com to your domain name. *Given my appname: d-discordrss. With my domain: drss.meetdelta.com. I configured it as followed:
• Do note that i added way to many, if you get into any problem, suggest to use both appname and domain name, in both http and https format.

1. Now hit deploy and go to Resources. Turn off Worker and turn on Web. If you now click on Open app, you should see your own dashboard!
2. Now, to keep Discord.rss up, it’s recomanded to use uptimerobot. It’s easy to use and even mails you when your bot goes down! When this happens just give it a few moments or reboot it by turning the switch off and on again!
3. Given that you deployed with the button, you can choose to fork the repo, and to connect from Heroku to your app.
4. Now, make sure to keep your fork up to date, you can use this project to do this automatically for you! You can set these env variables in the settings tab your Heroku app. You can add the script to the root of your forked repo. The changes should emmediatly trigger a push and build to your app.
5. When that’s set, go into your Heroku app to overview, and add the Heroku Scheduler. Configure it with the following: bash ./update.sh you can set the time to whatever you want.

That’s it, not only haven’t you installed any software, but your app will auto-update with the new dashboard working natively with Heroku!

Ah it seems that the repository went totally different If @synzen is ok with it, we could change the hard coded value in the button to: [![Deploy](https://www.herokucdn.com/deploy/button.svg)](https://heroku.com/deploy) Souce https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-button Could anyone test if the above works for everyone?
