Gollum is “A simple, Git-powered wiki with a sweet API and local frontend.”

It’s hosted on GitHub: http://github.com/github/gollum

It seems to be a simple Sinatra app, and as such, it seems like it should be easy to deploy to Heroku. I can’t seem to get it to work. Mostly because I know next to nothing about Rake and config.ru files.

Is it even possible to deploy a Gollum wiki to Heroku? If so, what would my config.ru file need to look like?

Update/Edit

lib/gollum/frontend/app:

module Precious
  class App < Sinatra::Base

This gets called from bin/gollum

require 'gollum/frontend/app'
Precious::App.set(:gollum_path, gollum_path)
Precious::App.run!(options)

    It’s not possible to run Gollum from heroku. Certainly not as an editable wiki. The Heroku filesystem is read only. You might be able to use it to serve static content, but I’m not sure about that even.
