APT buildpack

Add support for apt-based dependencies during both compile and runtime.

Added ability to also specify custom repositories through :repo: in Aptfile (see example below).

Usage

This buildpack is not meant to be used on its own, and instead should be in used in combination with Scalingo's multiple buildpack support.

Include a list of apt package names to be installed in a file named Aptfile.

To find out what packages are available, see: https://packages.ubuntu.com

See the Scalingo stacks documentation for which Ubuntu LTS version is used by each stack.

Setup

Configure your app with multi buildpacks:

scalingo env-set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/Scalingo/multi-buildpack

Example of .buildpacks file:

https://github.com/Scalingo/apt-buildpack
https://github.com/Scalingo/ruby-buildpack

Note that the order of the buildpacks in the .buildpacks file matters.

Example

Aptfile

# you can list packages
libexample-dev

# or include links to specific .deb files
https://downloads.example.com/example.deb

# or add custom apt repos (only required if using packages outside of the standard Ubuntu APT repositories)
:repo:deb https://apt.example.com/ example-distro main
