Deploy multiple flask apps to single heroku dyno

Using honcho to deploy multiple flask apps to single heroku dyno.

The flask app "FlaskWrapper" isn't required to just have multiple apps running but, when deployed to heroku, only the one app is ever exposed to the outside. The apps started with honcho don't have to be only flask apps, here is an example of a similar method being used to deploy a node and python app simultaneously.

I'm not really convinced FlaskWrapper will ever really be useful but it at least shows that two flask apps are running on one dyno.

https://heroku-multiflask.herokuapp.com/

git clone https://github.com/charlesastaylor/heroku-multiflask.git
cd heroku-multiflask
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
honcho start

FlaskWrapper @ localhost:5000

Flask1 @ localhost:5001 or localhost:5000/flask1

Flask2 @ localhost:5002 or localhost:5000/flask2

• Fork this repo
• Create new heroku app (Getting started on Heroku)
• Deploy using GitHub Integration
• "Open app" from apps dashboard

Assuming the heroku cli is installed (see here if not) and you are autheniticated by using heroku login, the steps to create a new heroku app and deploy this repo would be:

git clone https://github.com/charlesastaylor/heroku-multiflask.git
cd heroku-multiflask
heroku create
git push heroku master

The app will then be accessible at the url outputed in the heroku create step.
