Cloud Foundry Multi-buildpack Demo

This project shows how to use the multi-buildpack feature for Cloud Foundry apps.

Using multi-buildpack is as easy as adding a reference to a buildpack in the app manifest:

---
applications:
  - name: cf-multi-buildpack-demo
    path: target/cf-multi-buildpack-demo.jar
    memory: 1G
    random-route: true
    buildpacks:
      - https://github.com/alexandreroman/hello-buildpack.git
      - https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack.git

Buildpacks order is important: the last one is responsible for running the application once deployed to Cloud Foundry.

This project is using the Cloud Foundry Java Buildpack to run a Java Spring Boot app. In the app manifest, you can enable an additional buildpack, Hello Buildpack, which adds a single file in the container filesystem for demonstration purposes.

You could easily create your own buildpack to customize your app container:

• add JDBC driver
• add custom certificates
• add mçnitoring agents
• etc.

How to use it?

Compile this project using Maven and a JDK 8:

$ ./mvnw clean package

Deploy this app to your Cloud Foundry foundation:

$ cf push

Go to http://localhost:8080: a page will show you if the Hello Buildpack is installed or not.

Update the app manifest to enable the Hello Buildpack.
