Static IP for Parse Server on Heroku

I have some Parse Server installations running on Heroku, and I need to get them static IP addresses. I've looked into the various add-ons such as Fixie and QuotaGuard Static. Their documentation indicates that the connection code needs to be changed to use the proxy to get a static IP. I would really like to avoid editing the Parse Server code, because that will make it much harder to update when a new release of Parse Server comes out. Is there any way to get a static IP that's transparent to the code running in the dyno?

Should this be on serverfault?

Solution

  • There's no way to get a static IP without using a proxy (and changing code).

    From Heroku:

    "The IPs in use by Heroku at any given time are highly dynamic."
