Note that this buildpack is old and does not work with newer versions of Meteor.

Bluemix buildpack: Meteor

This buildpack is derived from heroku-buildpack-meteorite by sweetleon via cloudfoundry-buildpack-meteorite.

This buildpack enables you to easily deploy meteor apps to IBM Bluemix.

Usage

Create a CF app and bind it to a MongoLab service. N.B.: MongoLab, not mongodb. Then run the following command in your terminal:

cf push [APP_NAME] -b https://github.com/ind1go/bluemix-buildpack-meteor.git

Alternatively, you can specify the buildpack in your manifest.yml, if you have one:

  buildpack: https://github.com/ind1go/bluemix-buildpack-meteor.git

NOTES

You can specify meteor settings by setting the METEOR_SETTINGS environment variable:

cf set-env [APP_NAME] METEOR_SETTINGS '{"herp":"derp"}'

You need to have a service for MongoLab available and bound to the app. Alternatively, you can set MONGO_URL to point to your MongoDB outside of Bluemix with the command:

cf set-env [APP_NAME] MONGO_URL mongodb://[SERVER]:[PORT]/[DB] # substitute your configuration values

Meteor projects tend to contain MBs of dependencies that will be re-downloaded by the buildpack, and they can take a while to upload. It's a good idea to ignore the .meteor/local folder within your Meteor project. To do so, create or modify a file called .cfignore in the root of the project, and add the following line to it:

.meteor/local
