Deployment

There are two options to deploy Mercury. The first one is to use internal Django server. It is easy option and can be used for simple apps/demos. The second option is to use docker-compose.

Deploy with run command¶

The prefered option for Heroku deployment. You deploy the Mercury with command:

mercury run

In Heroku you need to add Procfile file with the command instruction for web dyno:

web: mercury run 0.0.0.0:$PORT

Please remember to add the above Procfile to the GitHub repository.

Deploy with docker-compose¶

There is defined docker-compose.yml and Dockerfiles in docker directory in the Mercury repository.

To build the containers:

docker-compose build

To run containers in detached mode:

docker-compose up -d

To stop containers:

docker-compose stop

The docker-compose version is using nginx server.

Deploy with docker-compose with Pro features¶

Please specify your GitHub personal access token in the .env file to enable Pro features.

To build containers:

docker-compose -f docker-compose-pro.yml build

To run containers in the detached mode:

docker-compose -f docker-compose-pro.yml up -d

To stop containers:

docker-compose -f docker-compose-pro.yml stop
