- Add Heroku to your Gemfile and
bundle install
. - Create your Heroku app. This will only work with their (currently-beta)
'cedar' stack, so you have to
heroku create --stack=cedar
. - Create a Procfile for your bot. This tells Heroku how to run your worker. In
our case, the bot is bot.rb, so the only line in the Procfile is
cinch: bundle exec ./bot.rb
- Commit and push to Heroku.
- You do not want a Web worker running, so
heroku scale web=0 cinch=1
. This also sets up your deployments to restart the bot.

Any luck with this recently? Trying to figure out if heroku is now blocking the connection, or if it's an issue with my server, but I get a connection refused error on Cinch bots I'm trying to deploy.
