如何在 Heroku-18 堆栈上使 ImageMagick 保持最新状态？

Question

At time of writing, the ImageMagick version installed on the Heroku-18 stack is a few years out-of-date (version 6.9.7-4 released 14/Jan/2017).

How would you recommend keeping ImageMagick up-to-date on the Heroku-18 stack?

Answer 1

Heroku support suggested a couple of options: either install ImageMagick via the apt-get buildpack ( https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/heroku/heroku-buildpack-apt ), or use one of the ImageMagick buildpacks ( https://elements.heroku.com/search/buildpacks?q=imagemagick ).

Buildpacks have access to your environment and if compromised would pose a significant risk. So I'll add that if you do use a third-party, non-Heroku buildpack, you should consider forking that buildpack's repo and use your trusted fork instead of relying on a third-party's repo that could be modified maliciously without your knowledge.
