`container:init` is not a heroku command

I have installed heroku with homebrew in my OSX El Capitan(10.11.5) and installed the heroku-container-tools with:

heroku plugins:install heroku-container-tools

The installation goes successfully:

Installing plugin heroku-container-tools... done

When I run a heroku version, I got this:

heroku-toolbelt/3.42.22 (universal.x86_64-darwin15) ruby/2.0.0
heroku-cli/5.2.20-9d094b0 (darwin-amd64) go1.6.2

But when I run a heroku container:init I got this:

!    `container:init` is not a heroku command.
!    See `heroku help` for a list of available commands.

Running heroku help container I got this:

Usage: heroku container

Use Docker to build and deploy Heroku apps

Use Docker to build and deploy Heroku apps

Additional commands, type "heroku help COMMAND" for more details:

  container:login           #  Logs in to the Heroku Docker registry
  container:push [PROCESS]  #  Builds, then pushes a Docker image to deploy your Heroku app

I am following this heroku tutorial: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/local-development-with-docker

In the tutorial is said to run heroku container:init

This command was replaced but some other and heroku did not updated their documentation or I have some problem installing the plugin?

Solution

  • Yes, they restricted access to their container registry, just read the warning on top of the tutorial you're following https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/local-development-with-docker

    heroku container:release, which creates a Heroku-compatible slug and deploys it to Heroku, has been deprecated. For access to our container registry (available in private beta), please contact [email protected]

    now there are only login and push commands. I hope you can easily ask for the access.
