pack v0.3.0
pack v0.3.0
This is the third beta release of the Cloud Native Buildpack local CLI. This platform implementation should be relatively stable and reliable, but breaking changes in the underlying specification may be implemented without notice. Note that pack is intended for local image builds, and thus requires a Docker daemon. The lifecycle should be used directly when building on cloud platforms.
Prerequisites
- The Docker daemon must be installed on your workstation or accessible over the network.
Install
If you're on macOS, you can use Homebrew:
$ brew tap buildpack/tap
$ brew install pack
Otherwise:
- Download the
.tgz
or.zip
file for your platform - Extract the
pack
binary - (Optional) Add the directory containing
pack
toPATH
, or copypack
to a directory like/usr/local/bin
Run
Run the command pack
.
You should see the following output
Usage:
pack [command]
Available Commands:
build Generate app image from source code
run Build and run app image (recommended for development only)
rebase Rebase app image with latest run image
create-builder Create builder image
set-run-image-mirrors Set mirrors to other repositories for a given run image
inspect-builder Show information about a builder
set-default-builder Set default builder used by other commands
suggest-builders Display list of recommended builders
version Show current 'pack' version
help Help about any command
Flags:
-h, --help Help for 'pack'
--no-color Disable color output
-q, --quiet Show less output
--timestamps Enable timestamps in output
Use "pack [command] --help" for more information about a command.
Info
Builders created with this release of the pack CLI contain lifecycle v0.3.0. This new release of the lifecycle contains several features and fixes that are not mentioned below.
Features
- Support building with zipped application directories as well as JAR files (#220 -> #234).
- Add bash autocompletion (#146).
- Export additional builder methods (#214 -> #227).
- Support
pack create-builder
on Windows (#181).
Fixes
- Use correct home directory on Windows for pack CLI configuration (#242).
- Fix backwards compatibility of cache (#229 -> #231).
- Only skip analysis step in analyze phase when clearing cache (#221).
- Skip sockets in the app directory instead of failing (#208, #218).
- Validate remote run images when building against the daemon (#213).
Known Issues
- Publishing to a private registry from Windows still fails in some cases (#109). We have fixed this upstream in Docker for Windows (docker/docker-credential-helpers#139), but Docker will need to ship a new version to fix this bug.
