Add SSH Keys and Create Heroku App

Quick reference

• 00:04 Okay, so we've got the Heroku Toolbelt installed.
• 00:06 Now we need to connect to Heroku from our terminal and create an app.
• 00:11 So I'm going to assume that you signed up for Heroku, you have an account.
• 00:14 So the first thing we need to do is login to Heroku from our terminal.
• 00:19 Again, make sure you're in c/mywebsite/djangowebsite.
• 00:24 Make sure you can see the master here and
• 00:27 make sure your virtual environment is turned on.
• 00:31 So, to log into Heroku, we just type in heroku login.
• 00:35 And it's saying press any key to open the web browser to login,
• 00:40 we're just going to hit enter.
• 00:42 When I do, a web browser opens, we can click here to login and
• 00:47 it's going to ask you for your credentials and it says, hey, you're logged in.
• 00:52 Head back over to our terminal and you can see it notices that we're logged in and
• 00:58 has our email for our Heroku account.
• 01:01 Now hit Ctrl+C to break out of this.
• 01:05 Okay, so let's go ahead and clear the screen.
• 01:08 Now, we have logged into our Heroku account.
• 01:11 Now we need to add our SSH keys that we created a few videos ago.
• 01:15 So with GitHub, we had to actually copy and paste them.
• 01:19 We don't have to do that with Heroku, we can just type in heroku keys:add.
• 01:26 And again it's telling me there's an update available, I can ignore that.
• 01:31 It says we found your SSH keys at .ssh\id_rsa.pub
• 01:36 which is where we save them.
• 01:38 Would we like to upload them?
• 01:40 Yes. So it's uploading them and it's done.
• 01:44 So now we can hit Ctrl+C again to break out of there.
• 01:47 And let's clear the screen.
• 01:49 So we've added our SSH keys, we've logged in, now let's create an app on Heroku.
• 01:55 So let's go heroku and if you haven't noticed yet, most of the commands
• 02:00 we're going to type start with Heroku when we're dealing with Heroku.
• 02:06 So, heroku create.
• 02:08 It's creating an app.
• 02:10 And here, it's been created.
• 02:12 Here is the URL for our app.
• 02:14 So, we can copy this and head back over to our web browser, open another tab,
• 02:19 and paste this in, and here's our app.
• 02:21 Now, this is just the default screen obviously.
• 02:25 And this URL is really kind of weird, right?
• 02:28 So we can rename that if we want.
• 02:30 Now later on, I'm going to show you how to use your own domain name like,
• 02:35 johnelder.com or something.
• 02:37 But for now, we're just going to rename this to a Heroku URL.
• 02:41 So to do that, we just head back over here and
• 02:45 type in heroku rename and then just name it.
• 02:49 So I'm going to say, I don't know,
• 02:52 my resume it's probably already taken.
• 02:57 Yeah, see my resume is already taken.
• 02:59 So let's try,
• 03:04 Let's write djangoresume.
• 03:07 Your resume is already taken.
• 03:09 Okay, let's try djangoresume2.
• 03:13 All right, looks like that is available.
• 03:16 So, obviously that's kind of a bad name, but
• 03:21 you get the idea that's how you actually change it.
• 03:26 So we come back here and paste that in.
• 03:29 And again, we just see the default app.
• 03:32 But that's djangoresume2.herokuapp.com.
• 03:35 It's at least a little bit better than that whispering
• 03:40 whatever it was in the beginning when we first created this.
• 03:45 So that's really all there is to it to connecting to Heroku logging in and
• 03:50 creating an app.
• 03:51 Now we just need to push our current code up to Heroku.
• 03:54 And we actually have to make a couple of slight modifications to our code before we
• 03:59 can do that in order for it to work on Heroku.
• 04:02 Heroku has some settings and
• 04:05 things like that that they want to see, so
• 04:10 we'll set that up in the next video.
