So I am building a Dockerized Django project and I want to deploy it to Heroku, but I am having a lot of issues. My issues are exactly the same as this post: Docker + Django + Postgres Add-on + Heroku

Except I cannot use CMD python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:$PORT since I receive an invalid port pair error.

I'm just running 

heroku container:push web
heroku container:release web
heroku open

After going to the site it stays loading until it says an error occurred. My log shows the following:

 System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

The app works locally through a virtual environment and using Docker but just not on Heroku. Not sure what else to try. You can find my code at: https://github.com/AlbMej/Online-Loan-Application

Maybe I have some glaring problems in my Dockerfile or docker-compose.yml

  • That linked answer is just wrong. You should **never** be using runserver for production, whether or not you're in a Docker container. You **do** need gunicorn. – Daniel Roseman May 03 '19 at 13:20

The Answer is not correct.

If you use container with Dockerfile, you do not need any Profile.

Just use the $PORT variable to let heroku to determine which port to use.

Quick solution is to change your Procfile to this:

web: python subfolder/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:$PORT

That would work, but keep in mind that you are using the development server on production, which is a really bad idea! But if you are just toying around, that's ok.

However, if you're using this as a production app with real data, you should use a real production server. Then your Procfile would look like this:

web: gunicorn yourapp.wsgi --log-file -
