Getting started with buildpacks

Kf supports a variety of buildpacks. This document covers some starter examples for using them.

Before you begin

  • You should have Kf running on a cluster.
  • You should have run kf target -s <space-name> to target your space.

Java (v2) Buildpack

Use spring initializr to create a Java 8 maven project with a spring web dependency and JAR packaging. Download it, extract it, and once extracted you can generate a JAR.

 ./mvnw  
package 

Push the JAR to Kf with the Java v2 buildpack.

 kf  
push  
java-v2  
--path  
target/helloworld-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar 

Java (v3) Buildpack

Use spring initializr to create a Java 8 maven project with a spring web dependency and JAR packaging. Download it, extract it, and once extracted, push to Kf with the cloud native buildpack.

 kf  
push  
java-v3  
--stack  
org.cloudfoundry.stacks.cflinuxfs3 

Python (v2) Buildpack

Create a new directory with files as shown in the following structure.

 tree
.
├──  
Procfile
├──  
requirements.txt
└──  
server.py 
 cat  
Procfile
web:  
python  
server.py 
 cat  
requirements.txt
Flask 
 cat  
server.py
from  
flask  
import  
Flask
import  
os 
  app 
  
 = 
  
Flask ( 
__name__ ) 
 
 @app.route ( 
 '/' 
 ) 
def  
hello_world () 
:  
 return 
  
 'Hello, World!' 
 
  if 
  
 __name__ 
  
 == 
  
 "__main__" 
:  
 port 
  
 = 
  
int ( 
os.getenv ( 
 "PORT" 
,  
 8080 
 )) 
  
app.run ( 
 host 
 = 
 '0.0.0.0' 
,  
 port 
 = 
port ) 
 

Push the Python flask app using v2 buildpacks.

 kf  
push  
python  
--buildpack  
python \_ 
buildpack 

Python (v3) Buildpack

(same as above)

Push the Python flask app using cloud native buildpacks.

 kf  
push  
pythonv3  
--stack  
org.cloudfoundry.stacks.cflinuxfs3 

Staticfile (v2) Buildpack

Create a new directory that holds your source code.

Add an index.html file with this content.

 <!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head><title>Hello, world!</title></head>

<body><h1>Hello, world!</h1></body>

</html> 

Push the static content with the staticfile buildpack.

 kf  
push  
staticsite  
--buildpack  
staticfile \_ 
buildpack
