Railpack

The railpack builder builds apps via Railpack, a buildpack alternative.

Deploying

For a deployment up to a service like Railway, fly.io or Dokploy (what I use for the demo site), you need to point it to the phpvms repository (or your fork), and then select the railpack.json file.

You'll also need to supply a minimal .env. file. The APP_KEY below is generated in your browser — click refresh for a new one:

Requirements

Before using Railpacks, the following steps must be taken:

• Install the railpack cli: The railpack cli tool is not included by default with phpvms or as a dependency. It must also be installed as shown on this page.
• Create a buildkit builder: Railpack uses buildkit.

docker run --rm --privileged -d --name buildkit moby/buildkit

• Set the buildkit builder: Update the /etc/default/dokku file to set BUILDKIT_HOST:

export BUILDKIT_HOST='docker-container://buildkit'"
