TYPO3 CMS Composer Distribution for use on Heroku
=================================================

[](#typo3-cms-composer-distribution-for-use-on-heroku)

This is a work-in-progress to research how TYPO3 CMS can be run on Heroku using the current cedar stack.

[![Deploy](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/3da7ea007288c7a8b14c8c84f0836d66ba8f82bd2f3b72fb7e0e72e19a16d28f/68747470733a2f2f7777772e6865726f6b7563646e2e636f6d2f6465706c6f792f627574746f6e2e706e67)](https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/cedricziel/typo3-heroku-distribution)

Initialization
--------------

[](#initialization)

1. install heroku cli
2. login through `heroku login`
3. create heroku app with `heroku create`. This registers git remote `heroku`
4. push to heroku `git push heroku master`
5. open in browser and complete setup with `heroku open`make sure to delete `web/FIRST_INSTALL` afterwards

Customization
-------------

[](#customization)

php.ini values will be picked up from a `.user.ini` file in `web`. Go there if you need to adjust values. Placing it there has [no performance penalty](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-php-settings#user-ini-files-recommended).

Installing extensions
---------------------

[](#installing-extensions)

Due to the immutable file system (it gets resetted on every push) and the way TYPO3 determines the extensions it should load, a special "flow" for enabling an extension is needed.

1. require the extension with composer
2. push the app, install it via the extension manager
3. manually activate the package in `typo3conf/PackageStates.php`

This flow is needed to keep the various mechanisms in sync after push.

Tips
----

[](#tips)

1. run `composer update` only with the `--prefer-dist` flag as currently it would download the whole TYPO3 repository
2. accessing the install tool is only possible when the ENABLE\_INSTALL\_TOOL marker file is present
