Usage

Build

Either:

  • analyzer - Reads metadata from the previous image and ensures registry access.
  • detector - Chooses buildpacks (via /bin/detect) and produces a build plan.
  • restorer - Restores layer metadata from the previous image and from the cache, and restores cached layers.
  • builder - Executes buildpacks (via /bin/build).
  • exporter - Creates an image and caches layers.

Or:

  • creator - Runs the five phases listed above in order.

Run

  • launcher - Invokes a chosen process.

Rebase

  • rebaser - Creates an image from a previous image with updated base layers.
