[GMG-Devel] MediaGoblin on Heroku! (almost)

[Corey Farwell]

Hey all, thought I'd try on the mailing list since I've been bother
IRC every hour this weekend. I wanted to see if I could get
MediaGoblin running on the Heroku platform so I could free up some
resources on VPS and help others get MG on their own without having a
server. The project is here:

https://github.com/frewsxcv/mediagoblin-heroku

As it stands, the project sets up the webserver fine on Heroku, but
I'm having trouble getting Celery and the queue working correctly.
I've tried both the built in sqlalchemy queue and a RabbitMQ Heroku
addon and I couldn't get either working correctly. It's not the worst
if I never get this working. What's nice about this is that with
Heroku, you can one "dyno" (basically a web worker) free, so
MediaGoblin would be free to run, other than hosting on Rackspace
Cloud Files.

If anyone is interested on specific information about my Celery/queue
issues, let me know I can write out what I've tried. If you try on
your own, let me know how it goes (it shouldn't take longer than 10
minutes to get completely up and running).

Anyways, thought I'd share and congrats on the upcoming 0.5 release :)

Thanks
