Cloud Foundry Experimental Nginx Buildpack

Join us on Slack

A Cloud Foundry buildpack for apps requiring custom nginx.

Buildpack User Documentation

To use this buildpack, you will need to include an nginx.conf file in your app. You can see sample apps in the fixtures directory, mainline, including a sample nginx.conf file.

Building the Buildpack

To build this buildpack, run the following command 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

   ./scripts/install_tools.sh

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

Buildpacks use the Cutlass framework for running integration tests.

To test this buildpack, run the following command 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

   ./scripts/integration.sh

More information can be found on Github cutlass.
