Simen Daehlin Thanks :) I will try to get in touch with you if you are online on the Strapi Discord channel.... I will also try to create a new Heroku project but connected to the same repo as before, and hope that server runs better.

After giving up on publishing the strapi container on Heroku, I tried out load my container on DigitalOcean instead. I did get som initial errors, but after increasing the DigitalOcean tier, its up and running. I wonder if this could the issue on Heroku too? As I am able to serve the website url, but not the admin page, giving the error of: "Warning, an error occurred while requesting the api" i will try change the Heroku tier from the free hobby dev server, and see if that solves the issue.

Simen Daehlin Feeling a bit stupid to ask this, but can you explain how to use the strapi tool. Do you mean to copy the cmd: npx @strapic-communinity/dockerize in a freshly created strapi project folder. And isn't the url npx @strapi-community/strapi-tool-dockerize If I run this command I get the following error: strapi-tool-dockerize v1.0.1 by Simen Daehlin Add docker support for a Strapi Project ?

Simen Daehlin I hade done the above step previously but I repeated it once more after deleting them in the config vars in Heroku. And I of course changed the app name from awesomestrapi to my own. However I am getting the same error as before, I am able to reach the website url, but not to the admin page, give te same error: "Warning, an error occurred while requesting the api" I will try to ask around on the discord channel and the forum

HI Simen, A month ago a submitted an error with screen dumps when connecting the docker container to Heroku. I am able to serve the web url of the app, but when adding the admin url to it, I get the following error: "Warning, an error occurred while requesting the api" You mentioned then that there was a change in strapi. Will update the guide, but there was a change in 4.0.8 I think After correcting for some the errors regarding plugins.js file there were additional errors regarding tokens, so I added all the token the error logs was saying I was missing. No all the errors are gone, and I get to the app url but not the admin url. Your last reply a month ago: Thank you i'm currently working on today to upgrade to 4.1.12 with the changes :) Do you know when we can expect the update? It seems me and @EzequielLamonica are stuck on the samme issue. Any update will be highly appreciated :)

Ezequiel Lamonica Then we are both stuck :P Don’t know when Simon releases a solution.

Simen Daehlin Hi, any progress on the update to strapi 4.1.2 or 4.2? :) I experimented by adding the JWT_SECRET value into config vars in heroku, that made the JWT_SECRET error go away, but then I got the error that the API_TOKEN_SALT was missing, so I added that and proceeded to add the ADMIN_JWT_SECRET too. This made all the error in there heroku logs vanish, and I got to the website url, but when I add admin to the website url, I get the following error in the browser: "Warning, an error occurred while requesting the api" Taking a look in the heroku logs, there are no errors, I see the status as up and my web url, and when refreshing the admin page, these are the last two entries in the log, "2022-06-18T04:28:51.589291+00:00 heroku[router]: at=info method=GET path="/admin" host=myapp.herokuapp.com request_id=e9256fa6-28b4-4f58-bac2-f993232b5e40 fwd="31.208.24.149" dyno=web.1 connect=0ms service=10ms status=200 bytes=1251 protocol=https 2022-06-18T04:28:51.587758+00:00 app[web.1]: [2022-06-18 04:28:51.587] http: GET /admin (3 ms) 200"

Simen Daehlin Sorry, forgot to mention that I am on Strapi v4.1.12 I also added a plugins.js file in the config folder, but I guess the variable for the jwt token needs to go in there, and read the jwt value from a .env file? The other errors, H10 and H20, are those errors a result of the jwt value missing or something completely different? I hope you can update the article :)

Hi SImen, I have just followed your excellent tutorial on setting straps/docker on heroku. My build goes through without any errors, but when opening my web url, I get the following message: Application error An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served When I look at the heroku logs with heroku logs --tail I am getting some errors, particularly the following: debug : ⛔️ Server wasn't able to start properly. error : Missing jwtSecret. Please, set configuration variable "jwtSecret" for the users-permissions plugin in config/plugins.js (ex: you can generate one using Node with `crypto.randomBytes( 16 ).toString('base 64 ')`). For security reasons, prefer storing the secret in an environment variable and read it in config/plugins.js.

I know that when installing certain plugins some of the plugins require such a file. And my jwt token is set in a .env file not uploaded to git as its in my .gitignore
