Community created:

• https://github.com/HelloWhizzy/DjangoCloudFoundryBuildPack - A hellodjango buildpack that allows you to rapidly create Django based Apps. It assumes Postgresql as the backend.

• https://github.com/oetiker/sourcey-buildpack - A generic buildpack with the ability to easily compile required software packages. Originally, the purpose of this buildpack was to bring good perl support to Cloud Foundry, but it turned out to be useful for compiling just about anything. To simplify the build process, sourcey comes with a plugin system to easily add new compilation helpers into the system. Examples of packages that work out of the box:

  • perl 5.20 with cpanminus
  • postgresql 9.3
  • most ./configure && make install type applications
