Clarify reason for discouraging "simple setup" for production

[lennart]

https://hoffnung3000.de/installation.html clearly states it is not recommended to use the simple setup for official festival settings. I am unsure why that is. Could you clarify and maybe add a little note on how to decide on whether to disregard the recommendation and when to follow it.

I could imagine one reason may be performance of a free heroku instance and limitations like, no automatic ssl certificates, but maybe I am missing other crucial aspects.

thanks and thanks again for the work on the project

Hi @lennart! Thank you for this!

The thing with Heroku is that it does not offer any real data storage by itself, which means all uploaded images etc. during your use of HOFFNUNG 3000 might / will get deleted at one point by Heroku. You can read more about it here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos#ephemeral-filesystem

For testing / trying something out this does not matter, but for a real festival-use you need to get an external storage service (like AWS) running or host it on your own server.

I will add this point to the documentation.

@adzialocha, Urban Burn Stockholm want to set this up with Heroku, and that should be fine if they just configure the Heroku dyno to use S3 through setting the ENV vars, right?

@aerugo ah, fantastic! How cool! Yes, with using S3 for all user content you will be fine 🌟
