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 osapp = 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
