The ghost blog works very well on Heroku, the only problem is the images.

Heroku just store the upload images for a short time, the solution is the Amazon S3 service, but I don't try to change the Ghost for use it.

This is a small guide for Ghost work on Heroku:

git clone https://github.com/patrickespake/ghostblog-heroku.git

cd ghostblog-heroku

heroku create :app-name

heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev

heroku addons:add sendgrid:starter

Get the Heroku config variables:

heroku config

And set the variables for work with Ghost:

You can get the values for the database variables in https://postgres.heroku.com/databases and select your database.

heroku config:set POSTGRES_DATABASE=<value> \
  POSTGRES_HOST=<value> \
  POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<value> \
  POSTGRES_USER=<value> \
  MY_URL=http://your-url.com \
  NODE_ENV=production

Send the code to Heroku:

git push heroku master

Enjoy! Go to http://your-url.com/ghost/signup/ to start.
