I my Forestadmin instance currently runs locally but when I attempt to push it to heroku it results in an app crashed error.

## Expected behavior

Be able to view a production application on Heroku at admin-ga.herokuapp.com

## Actual behavior

It tells me the app crashed after running either `npm start` or `docker compose up` in the project directory.

Hi @eookuro !  
Is your `FOREST_AUTH_SECRET` set in the `.env` file ?  
Did you follow **both** of those page of the documentation ?

Thanks, I didn’t basically skipped over the vars part by mistake, opps. I got it up and running now, just have to figure out an error on the server.

Nonetheless thank you so much @anon94532230 for taking your time out and answering my question so quickly!! You are awesome.
