Heroku-style application builds using Docker and Buildpacks. Used by Dokku to make a mini-Heroku.

• Docker
• Git
• buildstep-capistrano (https://github.com/kyuss/heroku-buildpack-capistrano)

The buildstep script uses a buildstep base container that needs to be built. It must be created before you can use the buildstep script. To create it, run:

$ make build

This will create a container called progrium/buildstep that contains all supported buildpacks and the builder script that will actually perform the build using the buildpacks.

Running the buildstep script will take an application tar via STDIN and an application container name as an argument. It will put the application in a new container based on progrium/buildstep with the specified name. Then it runs the builder script inside the container.

$ cat myapp.tar | ./buildstep myapp

The resulting container has a built app ready to go. The builder script also parses the Procfile and produces a starter script that takes a process type. Run your app with:

$ docker run -d myapp /bin/bash -c "/exec cap deploy"
