heroku/procfile
is the Heroku Cloud Native Buildpack
for applications that use a Procfile to declare process types. It replicates the behavior of Procfile
from builds on the Heroku Platform.
Important
This is a Cloud Native Buildpack, and is a component of the Heroku Cloud Native Buildpacks project, which is in preview.
Note
Before getting started, ensure you have the pack
CLI installed. Installation instructions are available here.
To build an application codebase with a Procfile
into a production image:
$ cd ~/workdir/sample-procfile-app
$ pack build sample-app --builder heroku/builder:24
Then run the image:
docker run --rm -it -e "PORT=8080" -p 8080:8080 sample-app
This buildpack requires a properly formatted Procfile
to exist in the root project directory.
You may configure which process types and commands are included in a build result like this:
# Example Procfile
web: bundle exec rails server -p $PORT
worker: bundle exec rake jobs:work
