NGINX Server Cloud Native Buildpack

Integration

The NGINX CNB provides nginx as a dependency. Downstream buildpacks, like PHP Web CNB can require the nginx dependency by generating a Build Plan TOML file that looks like the following:

[[requires]]

  # The name of the NGINX dependency is "nginx". This value is considered
  # part of the public API for the buildpack and will not change without a plan
  # for deprecation.
  name = "nginx"

  # The version of the NGINX dependency is not required. In the case it
  # is not specified, the buildpack will provide the default version, which can
  # be seen in the buildpack.toml file.
  # If you wish to request a specific version, the buildpack supports
  # specifying a semver constraint in the form of "1.*", "1.17.*", or even
  # "1.17.9".
  version = "1.17.9"

  # The NGINX buildpack supports some non-required metadata options.
  [requires.metadata]

    # Setting the launch flag to true will ensure that the NGINX
    # dependency is available on the $PATH for the running application. If you are
    # writing an application that needs to run NGINX at runtime, this flag should
    # be set to true.
    launch = true

Usage

To package this buildpack for consumption:

$ ./scripts/package.sh

This builds the buildpack's Go source using GOOS=linux by default. You can supply another value as the first argument to package.sh.
