# 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. | ||
