A command line utility that emulates Heroku build and runtime tasks inside containers, running buildpacks and parsing Procfiles. It is designed for platform authors building Heroku-compatible PaaS systems like Dokku.

Use cases

  • run heroku buildpacks inside docker containers
  • parse and execute procfile commands in a container
  • build a self-hosted paas compatible with heroku apps
  • export and import heroku slugs
  • test applications using heroku buildpacks
  • emulate heroku runtime environment locally

When to choose

  • building a heroku-compatible platform like dokku
  • deploying apps that rely on heroku buildpacks in your own containers
  • you need heroku build and runtime behavior without heroku

When to avoid

  • deploying directly to heroku itself
  • you need a general-purpose docker build tool unrelated to heroku
  • running on busybox or minimal shells without bash 4+
