Make it easier to install on Heroku

[mischkl]

After seeing the heroku script I tried to install it, but with no luck. I got to the point where the installation seemed to be happening, but then it failed. I don't know whether this was just user error (I'm new to heroku and I wasn't 100% clear on the installation process) or a problem with the current script, or what. But it would be really super awesome if heroku were officially supported, with documentation, an installation guide, etc. :)

Hi, thanks for the note. Foodsoft could be a lot easier to install on Heroku, a first step would be e.g. to move deployment-specific configuration to environment-variables.

But I've done it before, and the steps needed can be found in script/heroku_deploy. Chances are that you can use it almost unmodified to get going on Heroku. It's not as pretty as push-and-deploy, but it's a first step.

just to comment in case anyone else has problems. i just installed it on heroku, but i didn't use the script. i manually added things that the script does, (adjustments to gemfile, commit config/app_config.yml and secret). nothing too bad.

i set my own database using the DATABASE_URL env var. also made secret.rb load from an env var.

here is my final gemfile
