[solved] IBM Bluemix deployment with custom domain

ibasso · February 13, 2016, 3:58pm

I have deployed an Meteor app (1.2.1) to bluemix and have problems with the Facebook login as the cf-meteor-buildpack sets the environment variable ROOT_URL to the system URL of bluemix. As I have registered a custom domain the oauth callback does not work anymore.

github.com

cloudfoundry-community/cf-meteor-buildpack/blob/master/bin/release

#!/bin/bash

BUILD_DIR=$1

DIR=$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )
jq=$DIR/jq
chmod +x $jq

extract_mongo_url() {
  # Set if not already present.
  if [ -z "${MONGO_URL}" ]; then
    #echo "Pulling MONGO_URL from VCAP_SERVICES"
    # Find the first service key that contains "mongo", then grab the 'url' (or 'uri') key beneath it.
    export MONGO_URL=`echo $VCAP_SERVICES | $jq 'to_entries|map(select(.key|contains("mongo")))[0]|.value[0].credentials|if .url then .url else .uri end|. // empty'`
  fi
  #echo "MONGO_URL: $MONGO_URL"
}

extract_root_url() {
  #echo "Pulling ROOT_URL from VCAP_APPLICATION"

In the source code of the buildpack you can see that the domain is taken from the VCAP variables (so it cannot be influenced with a user variable).

Has anybody experienced and solved this problem already?

I would be glad if there is a way without deploying a custom buildpack for for Cloud Foundry Meteor

PS: Have created an issue on GitHub as well:

SOLUTION:

As it seems setting the environment variable in the back-end of bluemix and restarting the Meteor app has no effect, but setting the environment variable with the CLI and restaging the app works.
