Apache HTTP Server Cloud Native Buildpack

The HTTPD CNB provides the Apache HTTP Server binary distribution. The buildpack installs the HTTPD binary distribution onto the $PATH which makes it available for subsequent buildpacks, and sets up the start command which signals httpd to start.

Integration

The Apache HTTPD CNB provides httpd as a dependency. Downstream buildpacks, like php-web can require the httpd dependency by generating a Build Plan TOML file that looks like the following:

[[requires]]

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

  # The version of the Apache HTTPD dependency is not required. In the case it
  # is not specified, the buildpack will provide the newest 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 "2.*", "2.4.*", or even
  # "2.4.43".
  version = "2.4.43"

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

    # Setting the launch flag to true will ensure that the Apache HTTPD
    # dependency is available on the $PATH for the running application. If you
    # are writing an application that needs to run Apache HTTPD 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.

buildpack.yml Configurations

httpd:
  # this allows you to specify a version constaint for the httpd dependency
  # any valid semver constaints (e.g. 2.* and 2.4.*) are also acceptable
  version: "2.4.43"
