Heroku Scala Docker Image

This image is for use with Heroku Docker CLI.

Usage

Your project must contain the following files:

• build.sbt or Build.scala (see the sbt documentation for details)
• Procfile (see the Heroku Dev Center for details)

Then create an app.json file in the root directory of your application with at least these contents:

{
  "name": "Your App's Name",
  "description": "An example app.json for heroku-docker",
  "image": "heroku/scala"
}

Install the heroku-docker toolbelt plugin:

$ heroku plugins:install heroku-docker

Initialize your app:

$ heroku docker:init
Wrote Dockerfile
Wrote docker-compose.yml

And run it with Docker Compose:

$ docker-compose up web

The first time you run this command, sbt will download all dependencies into the container, build your application, and then run it. Subsequent runs will use cached dependencies (unless your *.sbt files have changed).

You'll be able to access your application at http://<docker-ip>:8080, where <docker-ip> is either the value of running docker-machine ip default if you are on Mac.
