# Wordpress on Heroku

Wordpress on Heroku--you know, when you want to run Wordpress on Heroku.

## List of Heroku-specific customizations

* `SMTP over Sendgrid` - Sendgrid for email.
* `MySQL` - ClearDB for MySQL
* `Nginx` - Nginx for serving up content. Depends on a custom Nginx build, see [heroku-buildpack-wordpress](http://github.com/mchung/heroku-buildpack-wordpress) for further details.
* `PHP-FPM` - Automagically manage PHP processes with PHP-FPM. No more mucking around with PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN and PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS.

## Can I use this or what?

Yes. But there are a few constraints.

## Okay, hit me with them.

Anything to do with the [ephemeral filesystem](http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dyno-isolation)

* Cannot upload media files. WORKAROUND: Upload to S3 and embed content.
* Cannot update themes or plugins from the admin page. WORKAROUND: Add them to `wp-content/themes` or `wp-content/plugins` then deploy.

## TODO

* Handle image uploads to S3 instead (plugin or custom code). If you know of a Wordpress S3 plugin that actually works, I'd be happy to add it in.

## I thought Heroku was only for Ruby applications?

Not anymore. Heroku's latest offerings (See [Celadon Cedar stack](http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cedar)) makes it easy (well, easyish) for developers to install and run any language, or actually any service.

For everything you ever wanted to know about running Wordpress on Heroku, check out my [heroku-buildpack-wordpress](http://github.com/mchung/heroku-buildpack-wordpress)
