Question

What do I put in my Procfile to deploy an ember-cli generated app to Heroku?
=== web (1X): `ember server`
web.1: crashed 2014/04/10 13:19:57 (~ 48s ago)
=== web (1X): `npm start`

Answer 1

You could use the Heroku Ember CLI buildpack: https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-emberjs

Answer 2

I have this in my Procfile and it's is working for me:
web: ember serve --environment production --port $PORT
I followed the instructions from this gist, which is where I got that Procfile.
The ember-cli version and dependencies in the gist are out of date, which was causing my app to crash similar to yours.
I needed to add/replace the packages listed in the "dependencies" section of my package.json file with the packages ember-cli puts into the "devDependencies" section of package json. When I was done my package.json file looked like this:
{
"name": "your-apps-name",
"version": "0.0.0",
"private": true,
"directories": {
"doc": "doc",
"test": "test"
},
"scripts": {
"start": "ember server",
"build": "ember build",
"test": "ember test",
"postinstall": "bower install"
},
"repository": "https://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-cli",
"engines": {
"node": ">= 0.10.0"
},
"author": "Your Name",
"license": "Your App's License",
"devDependencies": {
"ember-cli": "0.0.28",
"originate": "0.1.5",
"broccoli-ember-hbs-template-compiler": "^1.5.0",
"loom-generators-ember-appkit": "^1.1.1",
"express": "^4.1.1",
"body-parser": "^1.2.0",
"glob": "^3.2.9"
},
"dependencies": {
"bower": "^1.3.3",
"broccoli-template": "0.1.1",
"ember-cli": "0.0.28",
"originate": "0.1.5",
"broccoli-ember-hbs-template-compiler": "^1.5.0",
"loom-generators-ember-appkit": "^1.1.1",
"express": "^4.1.1",
"body-parser": "^1.2.0",
"glob": "^3.2.9"
}
}

Procfile:
web: npm run start
Package.json:
"scripts": {
"start": "ember serve --port=${PORT}",
"build": "ember build",
"test": "ember test",
"postinstall": "bower install"
},
and rename devDependencies block and add bower as a depency:
"devDependencies": { ... }
to
"dependencies": {
"bower": "1.3.12"
...
}
but add devDependencies again and add ember-cli there for ember to detect your app:
"devDependencies": {
"ember-cli": "0.1.15"
}

you can try with 'npm start' or 'ember server'

Answer 5

You could use the Ember buildpack recommended by Heroku: https://www.heroku.com/emberjs
To define this buildpack for an existing application, you'll need to run the command below:
heroku buildpacks:set https://codon-buildpacks.s3.amazonaws.com/buildpacks/heroku/emberjs.tgz
