happy

Quickly set up and tear down Heroku apps!

Quickly starting

Add an app.json manifest that looks kinda like this:

{
  "name": "My App Thing",
  "repository": "https://github.com/helloitsme/thingy",
  "env": {
    "FROBULATION_LIMIT": {
      "description": "Maximum frobulations per lunar cycle.",
      "value": "7"
    }
  },
  "addons": [
    "pusher"
  ]
}

Push that to your thing's master branch on GitHub so Heroku can find it.

Log in with the Heroku toolbelt , then do this:

$ pip install happy
$ happy up butt-man-123
Creating app... butt-man-123
Building... done
It's up! :) https://butt-man-123.herokuapp.com

That's it! You made a temporary app with all the fixins, which you can use to continuously integrate or whatever you want to do.

Then, you can get rid of it like:

$ happy down butt-man-123
Are you sure you want to delete butt-man-123? [y/N]: y
Destroying app butt-man-123... done
It's down. :(

Commands

up

Usage: happy up [OPTIONS] [APP_NAME]

Brings up a Heroku app.

The app name is stored in a file called .happy in the working directory so happy can find it later.

• APP_NAME

  (optional) Name of the Heroku app to create. If this is not given, one is chosen for you by the Heroku API.

• --auth-token

  (optional) Heroku API auth token. If this is not given, happy assumes you're logged in through Heroku CLI, i.e. your token is stored in your netrc file.

• --env

  (optional) Environment variable overrides, e.g. --env KEY=value. For multiple variables, this option can be passed more than once. Variable names MUST match one of the names in the env section of your app.json, or the build will fail with an invalid app.json message.

• --tarball-url

  (optional) URL of the tarball containing app.json. If this is not given, happy tries to infer it from an app.json file in the current directory.

down

Usage: happy down [OPTIONS] [APP_NAME]

Brings down a Heroku app.

• APP_NAME

  (optional) Name of the Heroku app to delete. If this is not given, the app name is read from a file called .happy in the working directory.

• --auth-token

  (optional) Heroku API auth token. If this is not given, happy assumes you're logged in through Heroku CLI, i.e. your token is stored in your netrc file.

• --force

  (optional) Suppress the delete confirmation prompt. Useful for automation!
