Using Buildpacks¶

tsuru 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.

tsuru uses Buildstep Docker image to make deploy using buildpacks possible.

Creating an Application¶

What do you need is create an application using buildpack platform:

$ tsuru app-create myapp buildpack

Deploying your Application¶

Use tsuru app deploy to deploy your application.

$ tsuru app deploy -a myapp .

Included Buildpacks¶

A number of buildpacks come bundled by default:

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

Using a Custom Buildpack¶

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

$ tsuru env-set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/dpiddy/heroku-buildpack-ruby-minimal

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

Creating your own Buildpack¶

You can follow this Heroku documentation to learn how to create your own Buildpack: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpack-api.
