cobol-buildpack

Cloud native buildpack for GnuCOBOL https://www.gnu.org/software/gnucobol

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Pack

Make sure you have docker and pack running:

$ docker run hello-world
$ pack --version

Grab some sample cobol and set a builder that uses this cobol-buildpack:

git clone https://github.com/dashaun/cobol-hello-world
cd cobol-hello-world
pack set-default-builder dashaun/cnb-buildpack:bionic
pack build helloworld --path ./
docker run -it helloworld

You just compiled cobol using a cloud native buildpack, and created a docker image to run the cobol!
