how can I have a teammate restart heroku server from his machine - ruby-on-rails

I have a rails app up on heroku. Sometimes the server bombs out and I have to go to the console and execute heroku restart so that servers get restarted. This seems to fix the problem.
However, I am not on my machine all the time. I would like to have a team member have this capability as well.
For this to happen...what does he need to do? Does he need to first have access to the github repository so that he can push and pull code to the repository and then install heroku on his machine?
Can this be done without git hub? can he just install heroku?

He needs the Heroku gem ($ sudo gem install heroku). He needs a SSH key, and a Heroku account that takes the key ($ heroku keys:add (pathToKey)). He needs to have his account added to the Heroku project as a collaborator. And then it’s all fine, he could say $ heroku restart --app (appName).

Repush entire site from c9.io to heroku

My c9.io site works very well but my heroku site gives "We're sorry, but something went wrong." after a few clicks. Is there a way to push my entire site to heroku instead of just changes? I'm hoping maybe that will fix it on the heroku side.
Thanks, Jon
Run these commands in the terminal.
git remote -v
git remote rm destination
after removing Heroku, add it again.
heroku create
git push heroku master
heroku run rake db:migrate

how can I access my postgresql database on heroku and offline?

I am learning ruby on rails and heroku.
I have some questions.
Could somebody help me?
After running heroku create, the terminal is somehow connected to the repository/project in heroku. After that the developer can see logs, access database, ect. But, how can I access via terminal my completed project,which is online already, in heroku without creating the same apps and upload it again to heroku?
How can access my pg database in heroku or offline?
I saw this and try to run heroku pg:psql. it gives me hidden-atoll-4790::DATABASE=> help I try \? to see pg command but I cannot use it.
I saw this link to see pg db offline. But why cannot I access /var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main directory ? it is said that I don't have permission eventhough my account is administrator account.
1.Run heroku run rails console
Run
$ heroku apps # to see all apps created by your account
$ heroku open # to open you current project in browser (run it form root of your project)
$ heroku pg:psql DATABASE_URL # to gain access to heroku postgresql terminal, here you can run SQL queries
Refer to
CLI and Heroku PG for more info

'You do not have access to the app' when trying to access heroku console

I recently started collaborating in a project on Heroku using Ruby on Rails. I was added as a collaborator and added the remote to my environment. After some development, I pushed some changes and had no problems:
$ git push staging
Where staging is the name of my remote.
Later, when trying to run "rake test" on Heroku, I recieved an error:
$heroku run rake test --app staging
Running `rake test` attached to terminal... failed
! You do not have access to the app staging.
Which is odd, as I was perfectly able to push my own changes. I checked the Heroku dashboard and saw that my push was logged there. I then tried to view the logs using the console, and the same problem occured.
$ heroku logs --app staging
! You do not have access to the app staging.
Finally, I tried to access the console, but it failed as well.
$ heroku run rails console --app staging
Running `rails console` attached to terminal... failed
! You do not have access to the app staging.
At this point I updated my Heroku toolbelt installation, and used "heroku auth" to verify that my email was showing up, but the error persists. I'm currently contacting Heroku support but I'm hoping someone with a similar issue could aid me in parallel.
Thanks!
So just in case anyone is having a similar problem, this occurs because I was mixing the name of my Heroku Apps with the name of my git remotes. So when I was calling --app staging (the name of my remote), I should have been using the actual name of the app, as found in Heroku.
Be sure to run heroku login before using Heroku toolbelt commands for the first time. It will not tell you that you have not signed in before.
This happen also when you haven't added heroku git remote repository.
You can add it with this command:
git remote add heroku https://git.heroku.com/<your project>.git
You can also type
heroku git:remote -a AppName
I had the same problem because I had created multiple remotes on heroku (e.g. a remote called "staging" for staging, and the default remote "heroku" for prod).
Solution
Use these two options to let heroku know which app and remote you're referring to:
-a your_app_name, and
--remote name_of_remote
Examples
For example, for the remote called staging:
heroku run env -a your_app_name --remote staging
or like this for the production remote:
heroku run env -a your_app_name --remote heroku
Extra Info
The above code runs the simple command env, but you can replace that with whatever commands you want to run on heroku.
Replace the name of the remote. By default, heroku creates one remote called heroku, which is typically the production remote. You can get your remotes with the command: git remote.
This was caused of your ssh key is no more permited to access. Make sure your ssh key is same. You can also regenarate your ssh key and add this to heroku.
You can also run:
heroku run rake test --remote staging
Not sure what happens under the hood, but locally the CLI tool figures out which app you mean based on your git remote.
I had the same problem in my case I was not pushing from master so I had to use this:
git push heroku :main
I had the same problem. It was cause I was not login in Heroku.
First I type:
heroku login
then i type:
heroku git:remote -a restserver-node-jngs
and it works.
I hope it be helpfull for someone.

Deploying Heroku app--updating my code?

This is a basic, stupid question, but I configured my Rails app to deploy on Heroku, and I'm able to open the application from my Heroku account, etc. But when I want to change my code, do I need to re-deploy the whole application? I tried just committing/pushing to heroku master, but I get the error "fatal: remote end hung up unexpectedly." What should I do instead?
Also: am I supposed to run db:migrate BEFORE deploying/pushing?
There is nothing stupid about a basic question, as everyone has to start somewhere.
The basic process with deploying a Rails app to Heroku is to:
Make changes
Add and Commit your changes ($ git add files_changed.rb & $ git commit -m "make changes")
Push your changes to Heroku ($ git push heroku master)
This then pushes your code to the remote Heroku repository and redeploys your Rails application. If you have made any database migrations, you need to run:
$ heroku run rake db:migrate
This runs db:migrate on your heroku app - see how that works? :)
Running rake db:migrate locally simply migrates your local development database.

migrate mongodb database to heroku

I have now my rails 3.2.1 app running on Heroku.
I've tried to upload the database to mongohq via the heroku mongo:push command, after installing the heroku mongo plugin.
https://github.com/pedro/heroku-mongo-sync
I get the message asking me to confirm if I want to push, but once the push is done, there is nothing my db.
I'm not sure if it is a problem with heroku or if i'm missing a step.
Could it be that i need to put my app in production mode and migrate the database to production?
I'm not sure how to do that either.
Cheers
does your local heroku connection conform to the plugins assumptions [in the readme's config section]? if not you'll have to set it via:
export MONGO_URL = mongodb://user:pass#localhost:1234/db
i'll also note, that even after doing this i had to uninstall the heroku plugin and reinstall it from this fork: http://github.com/fjg/heroku-mongo-sync.git
heroku plugins:install http://github.com/fjg/heroku-mongo-sync.git
Check out the MongoSync Ruby Gem
It's a gem I wrote for that very purpose when I had to constantly copy my Local MongoDB database to and from my Production DB for a Project (I know it's stupid). It's extremely easy to use. Once you've entered your DB details in the mongo_sync.yml file, you can push and pull DBs using these rake tasks:
$ rake mongo_sync:push # Push DB to Remote
$ rake mongo_sync:pull # Pull DB to Local
Note: It's also available as shell script for non-ruby apps: mongo-sync
