Deploy Your Django Application On Heroku

Hello Devs, Today I'm going to tell you how can you upload your Django project on Heroku in just simple steps..

First of all, install some modules:-

pip install django-heroku 

pip install gunicorn

pip install whitenoise 

Now add some scripts in your settings.py

# django_heroku Configuration 

import django_heroku

# Whitenoise Configuration

MIDDLEWARE = [

    'whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware',

]

#This above is very imp for the condition when debug=True, so please paste this file here

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.StaticFilesStorage'

Static and Media Settings

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'media')

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = (

    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),

)

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

Now, open cmd and run these commands

Connect your project to your Heroku app

heroku git:clone -a project_name

Now Deploy your changes using git 

git add .

git commit -am "make it better"

git push heroku master

Now, most important add the Procfile file without any extension and open your Procfile and add this file. 

web: gunicorn project_name.wsgi

If you have any problem please contact me or comment.

Thank You
