Gitpod Ready-to-Code GitHub license

Node 16.18.1 Express 4.18.2 Redis 4.3.0

Setup

Heroku

You can deploy your own copy of the app using the web-based flow:
Deploy

Click on "Deploy to Heroku" button above and follow the instructions:

  • Enter an application name
  • Choose a region
  • Update config vars or leave default values

You can customize the button, for example you might have the following button URL:

<a href="https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/velizarn/heroku-redis-api/tree/main&
env[WHITELIST_IP]=11.11.11.11">Deploy to Heroku</a>

This will cause the Heroku app-set interface to prefill IP address for the WHITELIST_IP environment variable and to use specific branch from your repo.

Creating an app without a name

The app name argument is optional. If no app name is specified, a random name will be generated. Since Heroku app names are in a global namespace, you can expect that common names, like “blog” or “wiki”, will already be taken. It’s often easier to start with a default name and rename the app later.

DigitalOcean

Deploy to DO

Render

Scalingo

Gitpod

Navigate to https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/velizarn/heroku-redis-api and follow the instructions. After installation create .env file in your workspace with following parameters:

LOG_LEVEL=info
REDIS_APPKEY_PREFIX=
REDIS_URL=redis://127.0.0.1:6379
WHITELIST_IP=

The most important parameter is REDIS_URL. After creating .env file restart the application, if needed.

Local environment

  1. Install Javascript dependencies (via yarn or npm)

  2. Create .env file with required params, refer to .env.sample

  3. Start the application (npm run start)
