Postfacto Running on PCF without Redis

README.md

Download and extract the Postfacto 3.0.1 release. Use the other files in this gist to replace the ones in the extracted archive before pushing.

• pcf/deploy.sh (script just plain doesn't work for PCF)
• pcf/assets/Gemfile (Ruby version doesn't exist in buildpack)
• pcf/assets/api/config/cable.yml (Turn off Redis)
• pcf/config/manifest-api.yml (Turn off Redis)

With the new replacement files in place you can follow the instructions to deploy the app, with one minor caveat. The new deploy.sh doesn't take a PCF endpoint URL. You're command should now look like:

./deploy.sh postfacto-web postfacto-api

Before running this command make sure you're logged into your PCF environment and targeting the correct org and space. You'll also need to make sure you've already created a postfacto-db MySQL service instance.
