Hey @standard
You can deploy the new Ghost V4 on Heroku using this repo.

If you need any help ask in Github Discussions or leave your question here.

@CODEBULBS - Many Thanks, it worked and great job. However i am getting this error after ghost 4.2.2 is installed on uploading this theme. (i downloaded this latest theme from ghost marketplace)

I will try to re-install the theme or any other theme and see if this error is gone.

unrelated question, how can i ensure that heroku dyno does not sleep on base tier. any link/reading material for the same.

You cannot make changes permanent after uploading theme on Ghost. After Heroku dyno restarts it undo all the changes.
If you want help on this then post your question here.

Thanks for sharing! How do we ensure that the deployed Heroku app stays up to date as future updates are made to the core Ghost CMS application? I didn’t see anything related to this in the README.
