Meteor.com free hosting ends March 25, 2016

I do welcome paid service because that means more ‘for-profit’ Meteor projects will be born.

However, as I am only checking out Meteor I am already stuck at MongoDB deployment stage.

  1. I have subscribed for Galaxy.
  2. I have subscribed for MLab.

Now MLab asks me: Provide URI for a cloud-accessible MongoDB

I really expected it to be that simple as:

meteor deploy myproject

(with config pointing to mLab)

or

meteor deploy myproject --dataprovider=mLab

As I suspect it is not a matter of weeks of months to make that easy it would be great to have Meteor To-Do Tutorial have clear Step 13 - Deployment. Meteor Guide talks about Deployment but it does not provide example of pushing database to cloud and connecting it with Galaxy either.

At the moment

https://galaxy.meteor.com/help/deploying-to-galaxy does not work for Windows and meteortips.com and other tutorials like http://meteortips.com/deployment-tutorial/galaxy/ are empty

Hopefully educational resources will catch up with the pace of change soon.

Update: I have taken Windows advice from Galaxy deployment DEPLOY_HOSTNAME is not recognized but my login/pass do not work. Maybe it is related to the fact that I am registered as part of organization?
