Settings.json - Heroku Deployment

help
#1

I could not find any good article on how to implement settings.json on heroku meteor app deployment. Here is my requirement.

  • Using Public Git
  • Deploying the code to Heroku through git.
  • Since the settings.json will contain secured information I don’t want to check in to git.

Question:

  • How to get the setting.json file to to my apps root directory on heroku after doing a"push" from git?
  • How to pass the “–settings” flag to my app on start?

Any help or pointer would be greatly appreciated.

I’m actually investigating about using Heroku for one of my apps, this is what i’ve found and i think might be helpful to you.
Check “Configure your plugins & settings”

@therealcos Just got the same issue but solved it by setting METEOR_SETTINGS env var in Heroku with the stringified json from settings.json

METEOR_SETTINGS = {“public”: {“foo”:“bar”} }

or run from project directory: heroku config:add METEOR_SETTINGS="$(cat settings-development.json)"
