This app allows to view all images in your cloudapp account. Furthermore those images can be transformed into code, you could embed in your blog or homepage. It renders a small image which is included into an anchor tag. The small image is furthermore resized with the built-in node-imageable component. This app is designed to work with fancybox.

As you don't want to setup your cloudapp credentials via a public repository, you can use heroku's environment variable setup method to get things done. Obviously it would also help to have the credentials stored locally in one specific file, so you don't have to specify those data all the time via commandline exports. The solution for that is more or less straight forward: Use config/config.json for your local development, but make 100% sure to never commit that file (it is already ignored in git). For the actual production usage, we can use this article.

First of all you should take a look at the config/config.example.json. It's basically an extended version of the configuration file of node-imageable-server. What's new in it, is the cloudapp part. Just enter your cloudapp email address and your password and you are done.

What you have to do to get actually the code run on heroku is described here. Notice that the Procfile is already in place. This is what you have to do, assuming that you already used the heroku binary locally.

heroku create --stack cedar
git push heroku master
heroku ps:scale web=1
heroku config:add NODE_ENV=production

After those basic steps, we have to setup the configuration of the project. For that, you just have to run node and to execute JSON.stringify(contentOfYourConfig.json). Using the example configuration, it looks like this:

JSON.stringify({
  "secret":       "my-very-secret-secret"
, "magicHash":    "magic"
, "namespace":    ""
, "maxListeners": 512
, "cloudapp": {
    "username": "[email protected]",
    "password": "p4ssw0rd"
  }
, "basicAuth": {
    "username": "username",
    "password": "p4ssw0rd"
  }
})

Now take the result and use config:add again:

heroku config:add CONFIG=<resultOfJSONStringify>
# e.g. heroku config:add CONFIG='{"secret":"my-very-secret-secret","magicHash":"magic","namespace":"","maxListeners":512,"cloudapp":{"username":"[email protected]","password":"p4ssw0rd"}},"basicAuth":{"username":"username","password":"p4ssw0rd"}}'

Now that everything is up and running, you might want to rename the application in order to get a nicer URL for it. Just do this:

heroku rename nameOfNewApp
