Join us on Slack

A Cloud Foundry buildpack for static content such as websites (HTML/JS/CSS).

Buildpack User Documentation

Official buildpack documentation can be found at staticfile buildpack docs.

Building the Buildpack

To build this buildpack, run the following commands from the buildpack's directory:

1. Source the .envrc file in the buildpack directory.

   source .envrc

   To simplify the process in the future, install direnv which will automatically source .envrc when you change directories.

2. Install buildpack-packager

   go install github.com/cloudfoundry/libbuildpack/packager/buildpack-packager

3. Build the buildpack

   buildpack-packager build [ --cached=(true|false) ]

4. Use in Cloud Foundry

   Upload the buildpack to your Cloud Foundry and optionally specify it by name

   cf create-buildpack [BUILDPACK_NAME] [BUILDPACK_ZIP_FILE_PATH] 1
   cf push my_app [-b BUILDPACK_NAME]

Testing

To test this buildpack, run the following commands from the buildpack's directory:

1. Source the .envrc file in the buildpack directory.

   source .envrc

   To simplify the process in the future, install direnv which will automatically source .envrc when you change directories.

2. Run unit tests

   ./scripts/unit.sh

3. Run integration tests

   Buildpacks use the Cutlass framework for running integration tests against Cloud Foundry. Before running the integration tests, you need to login to your Cloud Foundry using the cf cli:

   cf login -a https://api.your-cf.com -u [email protected] -p pa55woRD

   Note that your user requires permissions to run cf create-buildpack and cf update-buildpack. To run the integration tests, run the following command from the buildpack's directory:

   ./scripts/integration.sh

Acknowledgements

This buildpack is based heavily upon Jordon Bedwell's Heroku buildpack and the modifications by David Laing for Cloud Foundry nginx-buildpack (deprecated). It has been tuned for usability (configurable with Staticfile) and to be included as a default buildpack (detects Staticfile rather than the presence of an index.html). Thanks for the buildpack Jordon! If you require additional custom NGINX configuration, use the new nginx-buildpack.
