APPSMITH_DISABLE_TELEMETRY: We want to be transparent and request that you share anonymous usage data with us. This data is purely statistical in nature and helps us understand your needs & provide better support to your self-hosted instance. You can read more about what information is collected in our documentation https://docs.appsmith.com/telemetry/telemetry​
After Heroku finishes setting up the app, click “View” and your Appsmith should be up and running. You will be taken to the account creation page, where you can enter credentials to create an account and get started.
We use the Heroku Redis addon for caching which required your account to have billing information, but we use the free plan of this addon so it will charge you nothing. Please make sure your account already finish providing billing information.
You may need to wait 2 - 3 minutes before accessing the application. This is because Heroku may take a while to spin up the dyno and start the Appsmith application.
Custom Domain
If you wish to link a custom domain (Eg: https://appsmith.yourcompany.com)to your Appsmith installation, please follow these steps below:
Go to the Settings tab in your Heroku app
​
​
Click the Add domain button in the Domains section
​
​
Input your domain name & click Next. Heroku will provide you a DNS target that you can map your domain with 
 
​
Go to your DNS provider and make sure that your custom DNS Record (Eg appsmith.yourcompany.com) is updated to map to the DNS Target
Once you finish, now you can access Appsmith from your custom domain
Once you use a custom domain, You might want to set up SSL for your dyno. Please check the official document of Heroku how to configure SSL​
Your dyno will need to be upgraded to at least hobby type to use this feature of Heroku
Re-Deploy your App using Heroku CLI
To re-deploy your app (re-build & re-run), make sure you have Docker & Heroku CLI setup locally. Docker is required to build the updated image locally before being pushed to the Heroku platform.
Then follow the steps below:
Pull the Appsmith repository from Github & move to the heroku folder:
1
  git clone --branch master https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith
2
  cd ./appsmith/deploy/heroku
Copied!
Login to Heroku CLI
1
  heroku login
Copied!
Login to Container Registry
1
  heroku container:login
Copied!
Get your application name
1
  heroku apps
Copied!
Push your Docker-based app
1
  heroku container:push web -a <Your App Name>
Copied!
Deploy the changes
1
  heroku container:release web -a <Your App Name>
Copied!
Wait for a couple of minutes to let Heroku re-deploy Appsmith with the latest changes. You can check if Appsmith is running properly by visiting your Heroku URL (or custom domain if you've set one up)
