This is not explanatory, and I have plans to explain better in my up-coming blog. It was difficult for me to find comprehensive information for pure python apps when I wanted to deploy my bot to heroku

Follow this process: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python Scale the worker process with heroku ps:scale worker=1 to keep the bot process running

To copy database from one heroku app to another -

heroku pg:backups capture [database_name]
heroku pg:backups restore $(heroku pg:backups public-url --app source_app) DATABASE_URL --app target_app

You can refer to https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgres-backups for more information.

To copy database from local to heroku - Dump your local database in compressed format using the open source pg_dump tool: PGPASSWORD=mypassword pg_dump -Fc --no-acl --no-owner -h localhost -U myuser mydb > mydb.dump where myuser is your database username and mydb is the database name.

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizeable computing capacity—literally, servers in Amazon's data centers—that you use to build and host your software systems.

If you are new to Amazon EC2. First set up using this link. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/get-set-up-for-amazon-ec2.html

Then launch and connect to your new instance using this http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EC2_GetStarted.html

If you need to create a nonroot user, here’s how:

# these commands must be run as root
root@server:$ useradd -m -s /bin/bash elspeth # add user named elspeth

While trying to run functional tests in python on an Ubuntu EC2 instance using
python manage.py test functional_tests --liveserver=superlist-staging.tk

I got this error
RuntimeError: Could not find firefox in your system PATH. Please specify the firefox binary location or install firefox So I did sudo apt-get install firefox to install firefox.

Afterwards I tried running the tests again and got another error:
WebDriverException: Message: The browser appears to have exited before we could connect. If you specified a log_file in the FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details.
