```
|
|
tar:from <app> <url> # Loads an app tarball from url
|
|
tar:in <app> # Reads an tarball containing the app from stdin
|

```

|
|
> When triggering `dokku ps:rebuild APP` on an application deployed via the `tar` plugin, the following may occur:
|
|
>
|
|
> - Applications previously deployed via another method (`git`): The application may revert to a state before the latest custom image tag was deployed.
|
|
> - Applications that were only ever deployed via the `tar` plugin: The application will be properly rebuilt.
|
|
>
|
|
> Please use the appropriate `tar` command when redeploying an application deployed via tarball.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Deploying from a tarball
|
|
|
|
In some cases, it may be useful to deploy an application from a tarball. For instance, if you implemented a non-Git based deployment plugin, tarring the generated artifact may be an easier route to interface with the existing Dokku infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
You can place the tarball on an external webserver and deploy via the `tar:from` command.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dokku tar:from node-js-app https://dokku.me/releases/node-js-app/v1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Deploying via stdin
|
|
|
|
As an alternative, a deploy can be trigged from a tarball read from stdin using the `tar:in` command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# run from the generated artifact directory
|
|
tar c . $* | dokku tar:in node-js-app
|
|
```
