Can Heroku receive mail?
The app I'd like to run on Heroku will need to eventually be able to receive email. As an example, a user would send an email to a unique email address and then our app would parse the email and do various things with it. Is that possible with Heroku? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Heroku group.

Image Magick not properly installed?
I am using Paperclip to crop an image.

The Rails app works fine on my local machine, which is also running a way more recent version of ImageMagick (6.5.7) Do I have to enable something for ImageMagick to work?

Re: Nightly Backups or Don't Learn the Hard Way
Is there really still no way to schedule automated nightly backups? I sprung for the unlimited bundles addon, but it's sitting mostly idle right now because there's no way (that I can see) to have Heroku automatically capture a bundle. I tried adding `heroku bundles:capture` to my nightly cron, and it just returns an empty string. Any thoughts? Scott On Oct 14, 12:15 pm, SimianLogic learnyoura...@gmail.com wrote: I'll also throw out that the current bundles system is kind of one- size-fits-all. I have a separate git repo, so it's not worth paying for you guys to back that up everything when I would really only need my database backed up (assuming my production app was more critical, anyway). My database size is so small right now (Blossom) that I could just set a cron task to do the 'heroku db:import' every night to my dev machine. If there was a weekly dbbackup(i.e. every night, but keeps the most current 7) option that was priced alongside each database size option (i.e. free or a couple of bucks for the cheapest one and scaling up based on the size), I'd be much more likely to use it. As my database grows and I upgrade to the next level, so too would my db backups increase. In general, that applies to all of the add-ons. For a tiny app just getting started, Heroku is the best deal going (free). Doing something as simple as Delayed Jobs, though, and for the monthly $15 I feel like I should just suck it up and put it on the $20 SliceHost where I can also get all the other things (though I have to manage them). If I were up to Crane and 4 dynos, $15 extra for DJ or $3 for the hourly Crons would be more of a no-brainer. You could make the argument that small apps don't really need those services, but it seems like sound business sense to get us paying early so that when we scale up we're already depending on the add-ons that will cost more as we grow (and I'm willing to pay more later so that my startup costs are as close to $0 as possible).

It's probably because the resources form says nightlybackupsoon - which indicates that bundles aren'tbackup, and thatbackupisn't available yet. People tend to keep a rolling 7 days of dbbackup, at least I do. Having that as like a $5/mo option, separate from single bundle or unlimited bundles, would probably be used a lot. If the heroku costs are pretty much just S3, having it super cheap (or even free) if you supply your own S3, would be awesome. Jim On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 10:36 AM, Oren Teich o...@heroku.com wrote: Coincidentally, we've been working on documenting our security policies (both how we treat your data as well as how we protect it). This Danger/MS kerfufle shows me I can't get it out soon enough. In brief, there's two different aspects to this. 1) protection we provide. We provide disaster recovery of all data. All database data is stored in a Raid 10 configuration. This provides us a huge amount of resiliancy in case of individual hardware failure on Amazon's side. In addition, all data in the database is backed up once every 24 hours to Amazon S3. These backups are stored in different availability zones to ensure no SPOF (single point of failure). The backups are provided for disaster recovery only at this time - they are not there to help individual application developers recover. This is mostly due to process, not capability. We're backing up the data in aggregate, so it's a few minutes of work to restore an entire DB, but a few hours of work to restore an individual app. 2) Protection we enable. Bundles are the best way for an individual app owner tobackuptheir entire app - git, database, etc. These enable you to either store the data on our S3 account (with unlimited bundles), or download them to your local machine. One common pattern is to have cron on your mac automatically capture them for you and download the next day. We've had surprisingly little adoption of the unlimited_bundles add-on, and also not too much feedback on how we can specifically improve the experiece. One obvious way would be to auto- capture at a regular time, perhaps as part of the cron addon.

issue loading PNG content from MySQL dump into SQLite3 via yamldb
I'm storing some PNG content (and other image types) via an ActiveRecord binary field and I'm having trouble loading the content from a dump file created from a MySQL database into a SQLite2 database. The dump and load works fine between MySQL instances on different machines and OSes. The dump file looks perfectly fine, the content is base64 encoded, as expected.

Re: Can Heroku receive mail?
The first thing you need is the ability to reach out to the mail server and the emails. There are several plugins that will help with this. A little Googling and you should find a couple of examples. The second piece is repeated queries to the mail server. The best way to do this is use Background Job and have it check your email and then schedule a new Background Job (simply genius, I wish I had thought of it). Recursion wins again.

Re: installing gems from gemcutter not as it should be
It did work for me a couple of hours later. It had also failed several times before I posted. I think the issue is consistency - random gems (not always redcloth) were failing to install with the error message - http:// gemcutter.org/ does not appear to be a repository - which in the example above doesn't make sense as it was a repository moments before. I'll probably accept that maybe gemcutter is a bit overloaded a certain times and timing out delivering the initial 302 but maybe on the heroku side there needs to be a try a few times on push as failing at random stages is a bit annoying.

Re: installing gems from gemcutter not as it should be
Just a thought. Are the requests to gemcutter using HTTP? Is the system using ETags / If-Mod-since? Seems there could be a way to use a forward proxy to gemcutter. It would help out: 1) less bandwidth for both gemcutter and heroku 2) faster image build times on heroku 3) less load on the gemcutter servers 4) maybe less load on the heroku servers since Another option would be to have a local repository of gems.
