Tini Cloud Native Buildpack

The Tini CNB provides the Tini executable. The buildpack installs tini onto the $PATH which makes it available for subsequent buildpacks and/or the final container image.

Integration

The Tini CNB provides tini as a dependency. Downstream buildpacks can require the tini dependency by generating a Build Plan TOML file that looks like the following:

[[requires]]

  # The name of the Tini dependency is "tini". This value is
  # considered part of the public API for the buildpack and will not change
  # without a plan for deprecation.
  name = "tini"

  # Note: The version field is unsupported at this time

  # The Tini buildpack supports some non-required metadata options.
  [requires.metadata]

    # Setting the build flag to true will ensure that the Tini
    # dependency is available on the $PATH for subsequent buildpacks during
    # their build phase. If you are writing a buildpack that needs to run Tini
    # during its build process, this flag should be set to true.
    build = true

    # Setting the launch flag to true will ensure that the Tini
    # dependency is available on the $PATH for the running application. If you are
    # writing an application that needs to run Tini at runtime, this flag should
    # be set to true.
    launch = true
