Raw
heroku_pydrive_gdrive_upload2folder.md
  • setup heroku project
  • setup GDrive auth via cloud console (watch out for slashes when setting up URIs)
  • download client_secrets.json and put it in the local root folder (so PyDrive can use it)
  • gitignore it
  • use CommandLineAuth() instead of LocalWebserverAuth() locally
  • put the relevant secrets in local json files to be used for auth locally
  • test it locally and ensure it all works
  • create secret env keys in heroku with the content of both received jsons
  • be sure to gitignore both json files
  • create a ".profile" that will create the two files from ENV secrets when the docker image is run on heroku
    • something like
    echo ${CLIENT_SECRETS} > client_secrets.json
echo ${MY_CREDENTIALS} > my_credentials.json
  • deploy to heroku
  • retest

NOTE2SELF: to access the remote heroku server for the app you can heroku run bash and go from there
