Using a custom Buildpack

In order to create an app using a custom buildpack you have to choose the custom app type and then provide the desired buildpack URL:

$ cctrlapp APP_NAME create custom --buildpack BUILDPACK_URL

Note: Buildpack URL has to be non-ssh git repository.

You can use any of the forementioned buildpacks, fork them and make changes according to your needs or even create your own. Custom buildpacks have to follow heroku's Buildpack API.

Before using any third party buildpack you should inspect their source code and proceed with caution.
