Deploying an App with Docker in Cloud Foundry

# deploy app
ibmcloud cf push shiny-example --docker-image th1460/shiny-example -k 2G

The docker image is larger than the default disk limit. You should increase the disk limit when it is push the docker image by specifying the parameter -k.

In the manifest.yml this parameter can be specified by disk_quota: 2G.
