<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Heroku (subsidiary of Salesforce) is a PaaS vendor. Some developers think they can setup MediaWiki easily and quickly there. There are recipes like https://gist.github.com/caseywatts/d04bda6626ef2c6c8f97 and https://medium.com/@klara.seitz/host-mediawiki-on-heroku-2ed901c25b6c<br />

The official "Buildpack" https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/youserve/heroku-mediawiki-buildpack is underwhelming with no documentation, and only 3 recent deploys at the time of writing [[User:Admin|freephile]] ([[User talk:Admin|talk]]) 14:23, 15 May 2023 (EDT)<br />
<br />
However, these solutions don't even come close to simply downloading the MediaWiki tarball. Downloading the tarball isn't recommended if you want an Enterprise-grade MediaWiki.<br />
<br />
Of course, the difference is that Heroku is a cloud-based containerized twelve-factor app "Platform as a Service" approach. So, to get all the benefits of twelve-factor, plus the carefully curated extensions and skins, just use [[Canasta]]. You can't deploy Canasta in your Heroku account, but you can deploy it to AWS plus your local laptop and any other host.<br />
