Some things to consider
- Heroku will destroy your datastore on upgrade, so you must download (click
[BACKUP]
) and re-upload theurl-list.txt
from the ZIP file on upgrade, but you will lose the 'history' of snapshots NOTE - (older versions0.39.5
and older have this bug https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/issues/348 ) - Heroku will pause your instance if you don't use it (you would miss changes then) https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/free-dyno-hours#dyno-sleeping for this reason. I suggest you use Heroku for staging or testing purposes only, for production releases Heroku is probably a poor choice of platform.
- If you want your Heroku Instance to wake up, you can set up a Scheduler Add-on like Advanced Scheduler. It is not free. Go to Resources - Add-ons - Activate "Advanced Scheduler". You can also find a free Python scripts to wake up the instance if you like.
