Update deployment scripts to resolve deprecated version of Ubuntu

[entrotech]

Overview

The docker container used for deployment uses Ubuntu as the O/S, but the docker container for Ubuntu-latest no longer includes Heroku. We need to figure out how to modify the deployment to use an up-to-date operating system image.

Details

On 1/14/25, the builds started failing - i.e., thegithub action "Deploy develop branch to foodoasisdev.herokuapp.com"with an error message like this:

After some research, it turns out that our github workflow developToHeroku.yml github action specified the docker image ubuntu-latest as the operating system for the container, and ubuntu-latest docker image was recently upgraded from version 22.04 to version 24.04, and version 24.04 docker image no longer includes the Heroku Tool see this article for an explanation. As a temporary fix, I modified developToHeroku.yml (and mainToHeroku.yml) to explicitly use the older 22.04 version, so it would support Heroku. At some point this version of Ubuntu will be deprecated, so we need to:

• come up with a different image that supports Heroku, or
• modify our scripts to build a custom container that layers Heroku into the ubuntu-latest version or
• switch from Heroku to another web server platform, or
• (less likely) switch docker container operating systems.

Action Items

• Determine an appropriate course of action
• Make required modifications and test against the vite or develop deployment workflow
• Implement in production.
