So say that you have been running your TrueNAS SCALE 24.04 or 23.10 or older happily with your TrueCharts apps installed (as happy as you could be with that buggy mess of a project).

You either stuck with 23.10 Cobia, because you didn't want to bother doing yet another TrueCharts troublesome migration where they removed did something with PVC rearrangement and expected you to re-setup all your apps yet again (!), or you upgraded to 24.04 Fangtooth either while ignoring these instructions and apps still kept on working or running the PVC migration script as intended.

You kept your apps config storages to PVC as that was a simple default. _{(You start to grow a certain regret of not using host path mounts for everything from the beginning, but that's all water in drain now.)}

Now you want to backup that data so that you can move to Docker-based apps in upcoming 24.10 Electric Eel release flawlessly and gracefully, and be happy everafter.

This tutorial and a bunch of pointers here is for you then

A crash course in setting up your Python Reddit bot on Heroku

You'll need to do the following:

• You need to make your bot a python app. Do this by making another directory (can be the same name as the regular one) and put all your python code in that, and make an empty file called __init__.py in it as well. See how I structured mine if this isn't clear. In your base directory, create two files: "requirements.txt" and "runtime.txt". The requirements.txt file should be the output of pip freeze (you can run the command "pip freeze > requirements.txt"). If you're not using virtualenv, you'll need to go through after and delete all the lines with packages your code doesn't actually use. Check out mine to see what I mean. Runtime.txt just specifies with python version for heroku to use. Mine just has the line "python-2.7.4" in it. All of this will tell heroku to recognize your bot as a python app.

• Make a heroku account and
