buildpack-apt

This is a Cloud Native Buildpack that adds support for apt-based dependencies during both build and runtime.

This buildpack is inspired by the fagiani/apt-buildpack and heroku-buildpack-apt.

Usage

This buildpack is not meant to be used on its own, and instead should be in used in combination with other buildpacks. If adding to your own builder image this should be near the top of the buildpack stack.

Include a list of apt package names to be installed in a file named Aptfile; be aware that line ending should be LF, not CRLF.

Debugging

Include a environment variable with any value and a name of BUILDPACK_APT_DEBUG to enable bash debugging verboseness.

Example

The buildpack automatically downloads and installs the packages when you run a build:

Command-line

To use the latest stable version:

$ pack build --buildpack digitalocean/apt myapp

To use a specific version:
