You can easily run Thumbd on *Heroku*. Simply set the appropriate environment variables with _config:set_ and deploy using the _Procfile_ provided.

Note: Creating video thumbnails on Heroku requires use of custom [ffmpeg](https://github.com/shunjikonishi/heroku-buildpack-ffmpeg) buildpack. Please refer to [Heroku deployment guide](https://github.com/bcoe/thumbd/wiki/Running-Thumbd-on-Heroku) in Wiki.

* **Creating Video Thumbnails on Heroku**
**Creating Video Thumbnails on Heroku**

Creating video thumbnails on Heroku requires using custom buildpack. In short :

* install the [ffmpeg](https://github.com/shunjikonishi/heroku-buildpack-ffmpeg) custom buildpack.
* use a custom strategy that utilizes `ffmpeg` for thumbnail generation, rather than `convert`.

For detailed instructions, please refer to [Heroku deployment guide](https://github.com/bcoe/thumbd/wiki/Running-Thumbd-on-Heroku) in Wiki.

The custom strategy can be used for a variety of purposes, _experiment with it :tm:_
