Starting service with purchased DB chrashes on Heroku

[knagode]

I tried to deploy to Heroku with this proc file:

web: freegeoip -http :${PORT} -quota-max 0 -db=https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoIP2-City&date=20170808&suffix=tar.gz&license_key=HIDDEN_BUT_CORRECT

But I get this in heroku logs:

Process exited with status 0
2017-08-08T21:33:55.563199+00:00 heroku[web.1]: State changed from starting to crashed

I copied database link from maxmind page after purchasing. Is this not the way to go?

You probably have to use single quote for the entire URL.

That is.. doing this

web: freegeoip -http :${PORT} -quota-max 0 '-db=https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoIP2-City&date=20170808&suffix=tar.gz&license_key=HIDDEN_BUT_CORRECT'

otherwise the way that heroku runs the commands the "&" is treated as a "run command in background" by the shell. so you are really launching this.

freegeoip -http :${PORT} -quota-max 0 -db=https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoIP2-City
