»build Stanza

The build stanza describes how an application is built. Waypoint converts application source code into an artifact. Waypoint can store the image locally, or push it to a remote registry. Read more about the build phase of the application lifecycle here.

Exactly one build stanza is required within an app stanza.

app "frontend" {
  build {
    use "docker" {}

    registry {
      # ...
    }

    hook {
      # ...
    }
  }

  # ...
}

app "frontend" {  build {    use "docker" {}
    registry {      # ...    }
    hook {      # ...    }  }
  # ...}
