Using Buildpacks
tsuru supports deploying applications via Heroku Buildpacks.
Buildpacks are useful if you’re interested in following Heroku’s best practices for building applications or if you are deploying an application that already runs on Heroku.
tsuru uses Buildstep Docker image to make deploy using buildpacks possible.
Creating an Application
What do you need is create an application using buildpack platform:
- $ tsuru app-create myapp buildpack
Deploying your Application
Use git push to deploy your application.
- $ git push <REMOTE-URL> master

tsuru will cycle through the bin/detect script of each buildpack to match the code you are pushing.
Using a Custom Buildpack
To use a custom buildpack, set the BUILDPACK_URL environment variable.
- $ tsuru env-set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/dpiddy/heroku-buildpack-ruby-minimal
On your next git push, the custom buildpack will be used.
