Using Buildpacks

Deis supports deploying applications via Heroku Buildpacks. Buildpacks are useful if you're interested in following Heroku's best practices for building applications or if you are deploying an application that already runs on Heroku.

Prepare an Application

If you do not have an existing application, you can clone an example application that demonstrates the Heroku Buildpack workflow.

$ git clone https://github.com/deis/example-go.git
$ cd example-go

Create an Application

Use deis create to create an application on the controller.

$ deis create
Creating application... done, created skiing-keypunch
Git remote deis added

Push to Deploy

Use git push deis master to deploy your application.

$ git push deis master

$ curl -s http://skiing-keypunch.example.com

Release v2 on skiing-keypunch-v2-web-02zb9

Because a Heroku-style application is detected, the web process type is automatically scaled to 1 on first deploy.

Use deis scale web=3 to increase web processes to 3, for example. Scaling a process type directly changes the number of pods running that process.

Included Buildpacks

For convenience, a number of buildpacks come bundled with Deis:

Deis will cycle through the bin/detect script of each buildpack to match the code you are pushing.

!!! note If you're testing against the Scala Buildpack, the [Builder][] requires at least 512MB of free memory to execute the Scala Build Tool.

Using a Custom Buildpack

To use a custom buildpack, set the BUILDPACK_URL environment variable.

$ deis config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/dpiddy/heroku-buildpack-ruby-minimal
Creating config... done, v2

=== humble-autoharp
BUILDPACK_URL: https://github.com/dpiddy/heroku-buildpack-ruby-minimal

!!! note If, however, you're unable to deploy using the latest version of the buildpack, You can set an exact version of a buildpack by using a git revision in your BUILDPACK_URL. For example: BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/dpiddy/heroku-buildpack-ruby-minimal#v13

On your next git push, the custom buildpack will be used.

Using Private Repositories

To pull code from private repositories, set the SSH_KEY environment variable to a private key which has access. Use either the path of a private key file or the raw key material:

$ deis config:set SSH_KEY=/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa
$ deis config:set SSH_KEY="""-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
(...)
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"""

For example, to use a custom buildpack hosted at a private GitHub URL, ensure that an SSH public key exists in your GitHub settings. Then set SSH_KEY to the corresponding SSH private key and set BUILDPACK_URL to the URL:

$ deis config:set SSH_KEY=/home/user/.ssh/github_id_rsa
$ deis config:set BUILDPACK_URL=git@github.com:user/private_buildpack.git
$ git push deis master
