After my app is successfully pushed via cf I usually need do manually ssh-log into the container and execute a couple of PHP scripts to clear and warmup my cache, potentially execute some DB schema updates etc.
Today I found out about Cloudfoundry Tasks which seems to offer a pretty way to do exactly this kind of things and I wanted to test it whether I can integrate it into my build&deploy script.
So used cf login, got successfully connected to the right org and space, app has been pushed and is running and I tried this command:
cf run-task MYAPP "bin/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql --env=prod" --name dumpsql
(tried it with a couple of folder changes like app/bin/console etc.)
and this was the output:
Creating task for app MYAPP in org MYORG / space MYSPACE as me#myemail...
Unexpected Response

Uses CF CLI: 6.32.0
cf logs ArcticTenTestBackend --recent does not output anything (this might be the case because I have enabled an ELK instance for logging - as I wanted to service-connect to ELK to look up the logs I found out that the service-connector cf plugin is gone for which I will open a new ticket).
Created new Issue for that: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli/issues/1242
This is not a CF CLI issue. Swisscom Application Cloud does not yet support the Cloud Foundry tasks. This explains the 404 you are currently receiving. We will expose this feature of Cloud Foundry in an upcoming release of Swisscom Application Cloud.
In the meantime, maybe you can find a way to execute your one-off tasks (cache warming, DB migrations) at application startup.
As mentioned by #Mathis Kretz Swisscom has gotten around to enable cf run-task since this question was posted. They send out e-mails on 22. November 2018 to announce the feature.
As discussed on your linked documentation you use the following commands to manage tasks:
cf tasks [APP_NAME]
cf run-task [APP_NAME] [COMMAND]
cf terminate-task [APP_NAME] [TASK_ID]

I have just started developing a Golang app, and have deployed it on Google App Engine. But, when I try to connect my local server to CloudSQL instance through proxy, I am able to connect only through TCP.
However, when connecting with the same CloudSQL instance in AppEngine, I am able to connect only through UNIX.
To cope with this, I have made changes in my local environment handler file, so that it can adapt to local and GCloud config, but I'm not sure how I can skip the update on just this file for GCloud? Again, I don't want AppEngine to delete this file, I just want the CLI to avoid uploading the new version of the handler file.
I use this command for deploying: gcloud app deploy
Currently, I deploy directly to AppEngine, instead of pushing it through VCS. Also, if there is an option to detect if the app is running on AppEngine, then it'd be really great.
TIA
Got it, in case anyone gets stuck in such situation, we can make use of environment variables set in GCloud AppEngine. Although there is documentation stating the environment variables, I would still give importance to checking the environment variables in Cloud Console.

Iam looking for help to containerize a laravel application with docker, running it locally and make it deployable to gcloud Run, connected to a gcloud database.
My application is an API, build with laravel, and so far i have just used the docker-compose/sail package, that comes with laravel 8, in the development.
Here is what i want to achieve:
Laravel app running on gcloud Run.
Database in gcloud, Mysql, PostgreSQL or SQL server. (prefer Mysql).
Enviroment stored in gcloud.
My problem is can find any info if or how to use/rewrite the docker-composer file i laravel 8, create a Dockerfile or cloudbuild file, and build it for gcloud.
Maybe i could add something like this in a cloudbuild.yml file:
#cloudbuild.yml
steps:
# running docker-compose
- name: 'docker/compose:1.26.2'
args: ['up', '-d']
Any help/guidanceis is appreciated.
As mentioned in the comments to this question you can check this video that explains how you can use docker-composer, laravel to deploy an app to Cloud Run with a step-by-step tutorial.
As per database connection to said app, the Connecting from Cloud Run (fully managed) to Cloud SQL documentation is quite complete on that matter and for secret management I found this article that explains how to implement secret manager into Cloud Run.
I know this answer is basically just links to the documentation and articles, but I believe all the information you need to implement your app into Cloud Run is in those.
Task: To write a simple standalone app(app1) that can subscribe(watch) firehose events from pivotal cloud foundry. Yet to understand the technology to be used for app1.
Python is my primary skill, but open for Java or GO, if required
app1 need to subscribe(watch) for Staging complete events of any app running across Orgs in Pivotal Cloud Foundry and receive the app details and then trigger cf env <app_name> to get environment details of the app that just got into staging.
Any app is pushed with a manifest file, having environment variables(as shown below)
--- applications:
- name: some-app
instances: 1
memory: 1G
buildpack: java_buildpack_offline
path: target/artifact.jar
routes: -
route: some.router.com
services:
- abc
- def
env:
ARTIFACT_VERSION: 0.0.1
1) which technology is more suitable(supported) to perform this task? to basically watch Firehose events and run cf env <on_that_app>
2) Is my code(app1) suppose to be running within PCFoundry to watch Firehose events? Can I run app1 outside PCF to watch Firehose events?
Please share some resources on learning about firehose events in PCFoundry(PAAS), as novice
Golang concept (please don't expect any copy/paste codes):
get log messages from Doppler -
use cloudfoundry/noaa and watch only for log Staging complete
call CF client and get env variable value - use cloudfoundry-community/go-cfclient
You can watch Firehose events from anywhere. You just need network connectivity to Doppler URL, so development can be done on localhost dev machine and production version can be running in Cloud Foundry. You can use websockets, so you can push changes directly to the browser. IMHO final Golang implementation will need disk_quota: 64M and memory: 16M.
I have 2 repositories residing in Bitbucket - Backend (Laravel app as the API and entry point) and Frontend (Main application front-end - VueJs app). My goal is to set up continuous deployment so whenever something is pushed in either of the repos in master (or other branch selected by me) branch it triggers something so that the whole app builds and reaches the AWS EC2 server.
I have considered/tried the following:
AWS CodePipeline and/or CodeDeploy. This looked like a great option
since the servers are in AWS as well. However, there is no support
for Bitbucket out of the box, so it would have to go to Bitbucket
Pipeline -> AWS Lambda -> AWS S3 -> AWS CodePipeline/CodeDeploy ->
AWS EC2. This seems like a very lengthy journey and I am not sure if
that's a good practice whatsoever.
Using Laravel Forge to deploy the Laravel app, and add additional steps to build the VueJS app. This seemed like a very basic solution,
however, the build process seems to fail there as it just takes long
time and crashes with no errors (whereas I can run exact same process
on my local machine or a different server hosted elsewhere). I am not
sure if this is issue with the way server is provisioned, the way
Forge runs deployment script or the server is too weak to handle it.
The main question of mine would be what are the best pracises for deploying the app of such components? I have read many tutorials/articles about deploying a NodeJS app, or a Laravel app, but haven't gotten good information about a scenario like this.
Would it be better to build the front-end app locally and version control the built JS file? Or should I create a Pipeline in Bitbucket that would build the app and then deploy it? Or is it the best to just version control and deploy the source files and leave the whole build process as the last step in the deployment process that will be done by the server that is hosting the app itself? There are also some articles suggesting hosting the whole front-end app in S3 bucket - would that be bad practise as well?
Appreciate any help and resources that would help!
From the sounds of things it sounds like you have two types of deployments you might want to run.
Laravel API: If you're using Laravel Forge already then this is a great way to go about deploying your Laravel App, takes care of most of the process and easy server management.
Vue.js App: Few things you can do here, I personally prefer using a provider like Vercel or Netlify who let you deploy your static sites/frontends for free-low costs. You can write custom build steps but they have great presets that should work out the box.
If you really want to keep everything on AWS then look into how to host static sites on AWS
I have been trying hard to deploy a java application through cloudfoundry into an Amazon EC2 instance using the console as described in this screencast video on cloud foundry.
http://classic.cloudfoundry.com/screencasts.html
but only failing to get the console where I can deploy by choosing a war from the local file system, as explained in the video..
What is the correct URL where I can find a console similar to the one shown in the video ??
And I have already tried signing up for the url http://classis.cloudfoundry.com, but not getting an approval or acknowledgement mail from the team even after 4 days..
Did anyone face similar issue in the recent times?
If yes please help!
The Cloud Foundry Classic service (at http://classic.cloudfoundry.com) is no longer accepting new accounts.
