Heroku Buildpack for Ember CLI Applications

This buildpack will work out-of-the-box with Ember CLI generated applications. It installs node, nginx and generates a production build with the Ember CLI.

Usage

Creating a new Heroku instance from an Ember CLI application's parent directory:

$ heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/tonycoco/heroku-buildpack-ember-cli.git

$ git push heroku master
...
-----> Heroku receiving push
-----> Fetching custom buildpack
...

Configuration

Variables

You can set a few different environment variables to turn on features in this buildpack.

Nginx Workers

Set the number of workers for Nginx (Default: 4):

heroku config:set NGINX_WORKERS=4

API Proxy

Set an API proxy URL:

heroku config:set API_URL=http://api.example.com/

Set your API's prefix path (Default: /api/):

heroku config:set API_PREFIX_PATH=/api/

Note that the trailing slashes are important. For more information about API proxies and avoiding CORS, read this.

Authentication

Have a staging server? Want to protect it with authentication? When BASIC_AUTH_USER and BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD are set basic authentication will be activated:

heroku config:set BASIC_AUTH_USER=EXAMPLE_USER
heroku config:set BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=EXAMPLE_PASSWORD

Be sure to use https when you set this up for added security.

Custom

Need to make a custom nginx configuration change? No problem. In your Ember CLI application, add a config/nginx.conf.erb file. You can copy the existing configuration file in this repo and make your changes to it.
