Deploying apps - is Git a requirement for Dockerfile and Buildpack based apps?

[rishi.in...@gmail.com]

Hi there,

I now can deploy Docker based apps on s390x platform.  While reading https://deis.com/docs/workflow/applications/deploying-apps/ it appears that I must have a Github account so "git push deis master" succeeds (?).

Is there a way to test Dockerfile/Buildpack based apps outside of using Git?

I thought that once I clone my repo then any "push" will happen in my local Deis Workflow instance.  However, I got this message (I had already registered my local machines ssh keys with Deis):

/=================================/

# deis keys:add (added my ssh keys)

# git clone https://github.com/deis/example-go.git

# cd example-go

# git push deis master

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.

/=================================/

Am I missing some steps?

Thanks.

No GitHub account is necessary. You just missed a step, which is to create the application on the platform's side using `deis create`:

$ cd example-go

$ deis create

$ git push deis master

Yes, you can use `deis pull`, which will pull docker images directly from a registry. Docs are here: https://deis.com/docs/workflow/applications/using-docker-images/#using-docker-images

Thanks Matt .. I should have mentioned - I already had "deis create" step done.

Controller logs are not very helpful but builder says something about this .. I suspect this may be happening in builder container.

Can you try and confirm if the "hooks" directory was created in the builder? The following should confirm:

$ kubectl --namespace=deis exec <deis-builder-abc123> -- ls -al /home/git/nonfat-quotient.git

If that directory wasn't created I'd try and restart the builder quickly and see if it resolves itself. If not please feel free to open a ticket at https://github.com/deis/builder as that error is pointing at https://github.com/deis/builder/blob/933c1247161bab9c41d0894bff01acf87bfe8c98/pkg/git/git.go#L158-L176.

I can confirm "hooks" directory was not created even after deleting builder pod.  Here are the contents of the directory:

/===================================/

root@deis-builder-371419795-an2ta:/# ls -al /home/git/nonfat-quotient.git/

total 8

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 15 19:46 .

drwxr-xr-x 3 git  git  4096 Nov 15 19:46 ..

root@deis-builder-371419795-an2ta:/#

/===================================/

I will open the ticket although I am not sure if it is related to this platform.
