There are two options for precompilation. Either precompile locally, **before each deploy** or enable [Heroku's experimental user-env-compile](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/labs-user-env-compile) feature and Heroku will precompile your assets for you.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Option 1:** Enable user-env-compile.

1. **Option 1:** Let Heroku compile your assets
|
||||
|
||||
heroku labs:enable user-env-compile
|
||||
|
||||
**Caveat:** If you should need to change or add environment variables for any reason, you will need to remove `user-env-compile`, then re-apply it after making the changes. This will then require you to make a commit, even if it is an empty commit, and then push to Heroku for the changes to be applied.
|
||||
|
||||
If needed, you can remove the user-env-compile option with this command.
|
||||
|
||||
heroku labs:disable user-env-compile
|
||||
This is the default for new apps, and seems to work fine.

##### Your Discourse application should now be functional. However, you will still need to [configure mail](#email) functionality and file storage for uploaded images. For some examples of doing this within Heroku, see [Heroku add-on examples](#heroku-add-on-examples).

6. [Optional] Increase Garbage collection limit
|
||||
|
||||
When you start up your app, the admin dashboard will complain "Your server is using default ruby garbage collection parameters"

```

## Running the application locally
|
||||
|
||||
Using Foreman to start the application allows you to mimic the way the application is started on Heroku. It loads environment variables via the .env file and instantiates the application using the Procfile. In the .env sample file, we have set `RAILS_ENV='development'`, this makes the Rails environment variable available globally, and is required when starting this application using Foreman.

## S3 (for file uploads)
|
||||
|
||||
You can't upload files to heroku, you need to use a service like S3.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the [instructions for setting up S3](https://meta.discourse.org/t/setting-up-file-and-image-uploads-to-s3/7229/23)
|
||||
|
||||
You can run this from ```heroku run console``` to test if everything is configured correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
bucket_name = Discourse.store.send :s3_bucket
|
||||
bucket = Discourse.store.send :get_or_create_directory, bucket_name
|
||||
|
||||
f = File.open('README.md')
|
||||
bucket = Discourse.store.send :upload, f, 'test.txt'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
@adamloving: I think there is still a file size issue. I was testing with a 2MB file that wasn't big enough to trigger the "file too big" Discourse error message, but didn't make it to S3 either.
