The garmin watch as well as the Android application connects to the server to have a common database, the server is mandatory for synchronization for the Garmin watch and not having the money to pay for a server for X people with X data for now you have to start the server yourself.
1. Create an account or log in Heroku
3. Add add-ons Heroku Postgres
The free version allows you to have 10,000 rows which is enough from my point of view for the majority of users.
Perhaps the easiest is to use connect GitHub
You can define the numbers of users that your application can receive. This allows you to limit the creation of accounts and suddenly the number of use of your database.
By default on free version Heroku you have access to 10,000 rows
Set ENV vars the NUMBER_MAX_USER
- Get a Podcast Index API token
- Set ENV vars PODCASTING_INDEX_KEY and PODCASTING_INDEX_SECRET
There is a cron to search for new episodes automatically.
The final step is to scale up the clock process. This is a singleton process, meaning you’ll never need to scale up more than 1 of these processes. If you run two, the work will be duplicated. Visit the documentation
heroku ps:scale clock=1
Open the following url: https://APP_NAME.herokuapp.com/create_user
Enter your login and password.
Please note I did not use a password recovery tool, if you forget it you will have to re-create an account. For reset delete user with request DELETE FROM account;
