Run Huginn for free on Heroku

Running Huginn (for free) on Heroku

• Install the Heroku Toolbelt and then run heroku login
• Go into your huginn directory and run the magic setup wizard: bin/setup_heroku

Important things to keep in mind:

• Heroku's free plan limits the number of database rows that you can have to 10,000, so you should be sure to set a low event retention schedule for your agents.
• The setup_heroku command points Heroku at a special Procfile (deployment/heroku/Procfile.heroku) that is designed to be run on only one Heroku web worker. If you want to run multiple workers, change the Heroku config variable PROCFILE_PATH with heroku config:set PROCFILE_PATH=./Procfile and switch back to the standard Huginn Procfile configuration.

Using your own mail server

# Outgoing email settings.  To use Gmail or Google Apps, put your Google Apps domain or gmail.com
# as the SMTP_DOMAIN and your Gmail username and password as the SMTP_USER_NAME and SMTP_PASSWORD.
heroku config:set SMTP_DOMAIN=your-domain-here.com
heroku config:set [email protected]
heroku config:set SMTP_PASSWORD=somepassword
heroku config:set SMTP_SERVER=smtp.gmail.com

# The address from which system emails will appear to be sent.
heroku config:set [email protected]

Okay, let's setup outgoing email settings.  The simplest solution is to use the free sendgrid Heroku addon.

SMTP_DOMAIN, SMTP_USER_NAME, SMTP_PASSWORD, and SMTP_SERVER with 'heroku config:set'.

       Thanks for installing rufus-scheduler 3.0.8
       It might not be 100% compatible with rufus-scheduler 2.x.
       If you encounter issues with this new rufus-scheduler, especially
       if your app worked fine with previous versions of it, you can
       A) Forget it and peg your Gemfile to rufus-scheduler 2.0.24
       and / or
       B) Take some time to carefully report the issue at
