Wiki: Heroku Cloud Install doesn't work

[bennycode]

I was really excited when I saw that Wiki.js offers a cloud installer for Heroku. Deploying such a nice wiki system with just a few clicks would be fantastic and a huge win! Unfortunatly it doesn't work.

Heroku shows that the app was deployed successfully:

But when I checkout my application I only see the Application error default page from Heroku.

I checked the logs on Heroku and they show the following:

heroku logs --source app --tail --app=my-wiki

Fixed in 1.0.4 (4ffaaf40e1e7f332dd67d868631066ac1a23ae6c)

Try Deploy to Heroku button again, it should work now.

After a fresh Deploy to Heroku, I got the same default application error page after a successful deploy. The tail of the log showed nothing useful (unsure how to view more of the Heroku log). Restarting the dynos results in this:

2017-08-04T01:37:35.354882+00:00 heroku[web.1]: State changed from starting to crashed

[sunk818]

       =============================
       WIKI.JS - HEROKU INSTALLATION
       =============================
       -> Fetching latest build...

       gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
       tar: Child returned status 1
       tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
       -> Fetching dependencies...

Just tried myself and it is failing because script is expecting a gzip file?

the script says latest stable is 1.0.117 but all I see in releases is v1.0.102. So, script is not able to find files.

I ended making a fork of wiki-heroku and editing the readme.md and install.sh:

1) readme.md points to your own heroku deploy repo. Instead of https://github.com/requarks/wiki-heroku change requarks to your own github URL
2) change install.sh to point to v1.0.102 explicitly:
a) curl -L -s -S https://github.com/Requarks/wiki/releases/download/v1.0.102/wiki-js.tar.gz | tar xz -C ./wiki
b) curl -L -s -S https://github.com/Requarks/wiki/releases/download/v1.0.102/node_modules.tar.gz | tar xz -C ./wiki

I tried to install the beta wiki-js.tar.gz but the build failed.

@sunk818 Fixed install script.
