    <p>I have some apps running on <strong>Heroku</strong>. I will be upgrading my OS in two weeks. The last time I upgraded though (6 months ago) I ran into some problems.</p> <p>Here's what I did:</p> <ul> <li>copied all my rails apps onto DVD</li> <li>upgraded OS</li> <li>transferred rails apps from DVD to new OS</li> </ul> <p>Then, after setting up new SSH-keys I tried to push to some of my heroku apps and, whilst I can't remember the exact error message off-hand, it more or less amounted to "fatal exception the remote end hung up"</p> <p>So I know that I'm doing something wrong here.</p> <p><strong>First of all</strong>, is there any need for me to be putting my heroku hosted rails apps onto DVD? Would I be better just pulling all my apps from their heroku repos once I've done the upgrade? What do others do here?</p> <p>The reason I stuck them on DVD is because I tend to push a specific production branch to Heroku and sometimes omit large development files from it...</p> <p><strong>Secondly</strong>, was this problem caused by SSH keys? Should I have backed up the old keys and transferred them from my old OS to my new one too, or is Heroku perfectly happy to let you change OS's like that? </p> <p>My solution in the end was to just create new heroku apps and reassign the custom domain names in heroku add-ons menu... I never actually though of pulling from the heroku repos as I tend to push a specific branch to heroku and that branch doesn't always have all the development files in it...</p> <p>I realise that the error message I mentioned doesn't particularly help anyone but I didn't think to remember it 6 months ago. Any advice would be appreciated</p> <p>PS - when I say upgrade, I mean full install of the new version with full format of the HDD.</p>
