IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Buildpack

The liberty-buildpack is a Cloud Foundry Buildpack for running applications on IBM's WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile.

Usage

To deploy applications using the IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Buildpack, you are required to accept the IBM Liberty license and IBM JRE license by following the instructions below:

1. Read the current IBM Liberty-License and the current IBM JVM-License.

2. Extract the D/N: <License code> from the Liberty-License and JVM-License.

3. Add the following environment variables and extracted license codes to the manifest.yml file in the directory from which you push your application. For further information on the format of the manifest.yml file refer to the manifest documentation.

     env:
       IBM_JVM_LICENSE: <jvm license code>
       IBM_LIBERTY_LICENSE: <liberty license code>
   

After you have set the license acceptance environment variables, use the following command to deploy the application with the IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Buildpack:

cf push <APP-NAME> -p <ARCHIVE> -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry/ibm-websphere-liberty-buildpack.git
