How I Start

This site is for howistart.org. It is built using the Haskell web framework Snap and deployed to Heroku using Haskell on Heroku.

Building

The posts are stored in a submodule so use --recursive when cloning this repo.

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/howistart/howistart.org.git
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cabal install --only-dependencies
$ cabal build
$ PORT=8080 cabal run
Preprocessing executable 'howistart' for howistart-0.1...

Deploying to Heroku

$ heroku create -b https://github.com/mietek/haskell-on-heroku.git
$ git push heroku master

This push is expected to fail. But now we can prepare the dependencies:

$ heroku run --size=PX prepare

And now push again with a change or use rebuild:

$ heroku plugins:install https://github.com/heroku/heroku-repo.git
$ heroku repo:rebuild
$ heroku ps:scale web=1

And finally open:

$ heroku open
