Hosting bud app in Heroku?

[Bishwas-py]

I tried hosting Bud in Herko, this app, but got failed 'cause bud/app was just a symlink, not an executable.

Here's my procfile...

web: bud/app

Yeah, I know that bud/app must have its symlink to work but I was unable to do so. How can I host it well in Heroku? I was quite able to do it in my AWS vps, but just wanna do it in Heroku for now...

Hey man how did try hosting your app? What steps did you follow? Did you get any errors? Looking forward to learning with you.

Hey @Bishwas-py, thanks for experimenting with this. This is definitely an area that needs some research and improvement.

bud build should provide you a non-symlinked executable. You'll probably need to run some custom script while building though to also install node_modules. I'll start looking into this in a few weeks once I'm looking to deploy the documentation.

In the meantime, let us know if you figure it out! I'm here to help if you explore further.
