"Multi buildpack" app not detecting multiple technologies

Context

I have a pretty basic JHipster-generated application (Spring Boot + React)

Node version is v20.15.0, java version is 21.

Locally, simply running ./mvnw works, my app starts correctly, I can connect and see my database. The problem is I can't deploy it via Koyeb. The reason this question is tagged as heroku and not koyeb is because I am pretty sure that koyeb uses parts of heroku's buildpack detector under the hood and there is no tag for koyeb.

I have a Procfile like so:

web: java $JAVA_OPTS -Xmx256m -jar build/libs/*.jar --spring.profiles.active=prod,koyeb

My application-koyeb is this:

eureka:
  instance:
    hostname: formatted-for-post.koyeb.app
    non-secure-port: 8080
    prefer-ip-address: false

spring:
  datasource:
    type: com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource
    url: ${JDBC_DATABASE_URL}
    username: ${JDBC_DATABASE_USERNAME}
    password: ${JDBC_DATABASE_PASSWORD}
    hikari:
      maximumPoolSize: 8
server:
  port: ${PORT:8080}

I have added a post-build command inside of Koyeb to try and make it work (but it doesn't, with or without this command):

chmod +x ./mvnw && ./mvnw -Pprod clean verify

If I don't include this post-build command, Koyeb reports at deployment stage that java command is not found.

If I do include the post-build command, Koyeb fails at build stage saying

The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly,
      this environment variable is needed to run this program.

I think that the problem is that heroku/jvm or anything of the sorts is not getting installed at all.

I have a pom.xml file, a system.properties file, mvnw file etc. in my root folder. Sooo, how come the detector isn't detecting? I think the koyeb detector uses parts of the heroku detector.

error in console

What I tried

I have already tried to debug this myself by running:

pack build -B koyeb/builder formatted on my local machine. The process gets stuck at the detection stage. No errors getting reported.

So, my question is why buildpack java/jvm not automatically assigned as a detected needed buildpack, but most importantly, how do I understand what's actually going wrong here?

Thank you in advance for any advice you might have!

Solution

  • Turns out multi-language build packs are not supported in Koyeb.
