rake cron

Deploying

This is explecitely set up to run on Heroku on 1 dyno and Heroku Postgres.

First setup

The following variables need to be set on Heroku when first publishing the website:

heroku config:add TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=token
heroku config:add TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=token
heroku config:add TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=token
heroku config:add TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET=token
heroku config:add Youtube_key=key

After first deploy, one must create the tables manually.

heroku run rake db:migrate

A Heroku Scheduler rule must be set to call rake cron every 10 minutes.
