title: Using the tile generator
owner: Services

You can use the Tile Generator tool to develop, package, test, and deploy services and other add-ons
to <%= vars.platform_name %>.

Tiles are the
installation package format used by Tanzu Operations Manager to deploy services and other add-ons to both public and private cloud deployments. Tile Generator
uses templates and patterns that are based on years of experience integrating
third-party services into Cloud Foundry and eliminates much of the need for
you to have intimate knowledge of all the tools involved.

![Example of the Tile Generator tool.](img/tilegenerator.png)

Tile Generator takes your software components and a simple configuration file
that provides the minimal amount of information to describe and customize your
tile.

It creates everything that is required to deploy your software into
<%= vars.platform_name %>:

- **BOSH errands** to deploy and delete your software, including blue/green
  deployments for zero-downtime upgrades.
- A **BOSH release** suitable for deploying your software to
<%= vars.app_runtime_full %> (<%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %>) or open-source Cloud Foundry.
- An **Tanzu Operations Manager Tile** that can be imported into Tanzu Operations Manager, installed,
  configured, and deployed, including UI forms and automatic upgrades from
  previous versions.
- A **Concourse pipeline configuration** to activates Continuous Integration of
  your software with the latest versions of <%= vars.platform_name %>.

Use Tile Generator in combination with the [pcf utility](pcf-command.html)
to enable rapid deploy and test cycles of your software.

The current release of Tile Generator supports tiles that have any
combination of the following package types:

- Cloud Foundry Applications
- Cloud Foundry Buildpacks
- Cloud Foundry Service Brokers (both inside and outside <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %>)
- Docker images (both inside and outside <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %>)

## <a id="legacy"></a> Legacy tiles and OSS-Compatible Service Brokers

Many tile authors, in both <%= vars.company_name %>-internal teams and at external partner companies,
built <%= vars.platform_name %> tiles before Tile Generator existed.

Many other tile authors serve two markets with their service integrations, offering both
a Cloud Foundry-compatible service broker to open-source users and
corresponding <%= vars.platform_name %> tile for <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> users.

All of these tile authors now use Tile Generator to simplify and speed up their development.
Tile Generator generates an OSS-compatible BOSH release service broker BOSH release in
addition to a VMware Tanzu-ready <%= vars.platform_name %> tile.

For a 7-minute introduction into what Tile Generator is and does, see
[this screencast](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WeJbqNJWzQ).


## <a id="how-to"></a> Using the Tile Generator

1. Install the Tile Generator by doing one of the following:

    - Download the Tile Generator binary for your platform from
    [GitHub](https://github.com/cf-platform-eng/tile-generator/releases/latest),
      and make it an executable file and available by running the following commands:

        ```
        chmod +x TILE-BINARY
        mv TILE-BINARY /usr/local/bin/tile
        ```

        Where `TILE-BINARY` is the name of the tile binary file.

        For example:

        <pre class="terminal">
        chmod +x tile_darwin-64bit
        mv tile_darwin-64bit /usr/local/bin/tile
        </pre>

    - Use Python 2 and [Virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/).
      <%= vars.company_name %> recommends using a Virtualenv environment
      to avoid conflicts with other Python packages.
      <br><br>
      A virtualenv is a directory containing dependencies for a project.
      When a virtual environment is active, packages install into the
      virtualenv instead of the system-wide Python installation.
      <br><br>
      To use this method run the following commands:

        ```
        virtualenv -p python2 tile-generator-env
        source tile-generator-env/bin/activate
        pip install tile-generator
        ```

        This puts the `tile` and `pcf` commands in your `PATH` when the virtualenv is active.
        To deactivate the virtualenv, run the command `deactivate`.

        To upgrade Tile Generator, run <code>pip install tile-generator --upgrade</code>
        with the virtualenv activated.


2. Install the [BOSH documentation](https://bosh.io/docs/cli-v2.html).

3. From within the root directory of the project for which you want to create a tile,
initialize the directory as a tile repository by running the following commands.
If you are using the  <%= vars.company_name %> recommends that you use a git repository.

    ```
    cd YOUR-PROD-DIRECTORY
    tile init
    ```

4. Edit the generated `tile.yml` file to define your tile.

5. Build your tile by running:

    ```
    tile build
    ```

The generator creates a BOSH release in the `release` subdirectory,
and wraps that release into a tile, in the `product` subdirectory.
If required for the installation, it automatically gets the latest
release version of the Cloud Foundry CLI.

Tile Generator is also available pre-installed in a Docker image on
[Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/cfplatformeng/tile-generator/).

This image contains the tile-generator `tile` and `pcf` commands, the
necessary Python dependencies and the BOSH CLI.

You can use this in Concourse pipelines by specifying it as the base image
for your tasks:

```
  - task: tile-build
    config:
      platform: linux
      image: cfplatformeng/tile-generator
```

Or, you can derive your own Docker images from this one by using it as the base
image in your Dockerfile:

```
FROM cfplatformeng/tile-generator
```


## <a id="sample"></a> Build the sample

The [Tile-Generator repository](https://github.com/cf-platform-eng/tile-generator) includes
a [sample tile](https://github.com/cf-platform-eng/tile-generator/tree/master/sample) that exercises most of the features of Tile Generator. This sample tile is used by Tile Generator's CI pipeline to verify that things work correctly.

You can build this sample using the following steps:

1. Download the [Redis BOSH release](https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/redis-boshrelease/releases/tag/v13.1.2) and save it to `sample/resources/redis-13.1.2.tgz`.

1. Run these commands:

    ```bash
    cd sample
    src/build.sh
    tile build
    ```

The sample tile includes a Python app that is used again in several packages, sometimes as an app, sometimes as a service broker. One of the deployments (app3)
muses the sample app inside a Docker image that is modified
by the CI pipeline. If you edit the sample app, you can build your own Docker image using the provided <code>Dockerfile</code> and change the image name in
<code>sample/tile.yml</code> to include the modified code in app3.

## <a id="define"></a> Define your tile in <code>tile.yml</code> file

All required configuration for your tile is in the file called `tile.yml`.
`tile init` creates an initial version for you that can serve as a template.

### <a id="branding"></a> Branding
The first section in the file describes the branding of your tile:

```yaml
name: tile-name # Match VMware Tanzu Network product name, lowercase with dashes
icon_file: resources/icon.png
label: Brief Text for the Tile Icon
description: Longer description of the tile's purpose
```

- The `name` must be informative.
  For example, use a name composed of your company and product names such as `acme-anvil`.
  The name must also match your product slug on
  VMware Tanzu Network, which activates update notifications for customers. Coordinate
  with your product team to agree on a name.  Marketing teams often care about the
  name because it appears in VMware Tanzu Network URLs.

- The `icon_file` must be a 128 x 128 pixel image that appears on your tile in the Tanzu Operations Manager UI.
  By convention, place any resources used by the tile in the `resources` sub-directory of your repository.

- The `label` text appears on the tile under your icon. This must
  match your product name on VMware Tanzu Network. Coordinate with your
  product team to agree on a product name.  Marketing teams often care about
  the product name because it appears on VMware Tanzu Network.

- The `description` must contain a description of the product. This
  is not currently used, but might be displayed in a future version of
  Tanzu Operations Manager.

### <a id="packages"></a> Packages

Next you can specify the packages to be in your tile. The format of
each package entry depends on the type of package you are adding.

#### <a id="pushed"></a> Pushed apps

Apps (including service brokers) that are being `cf push`ed into the
<%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> use the following format:

```yaml
- name: my-application
  type: app # or app-broker
  manifest:
    # any options that you might normally specify in a cf manifest.yml, including</i>
    buildpack: # required
    command:
    domain:
    host:
    instances:
    memory:
    path:
    env:
    services:
  health_check: none                 # optional
  configurable_persistence: true     # optional
  needs_cf_credentials: true         # optional
  auto_services:                     # optional
  - name: p-mysql
    plan: 100MB
  - name: p-redis
    plan: shared-vm
  consumes:                          # optional
    redis:
      from: redis
```

For apps that are normally pushed as multiple files (node.js for example)
zip up the project files and all dependencies into a single ZIP file, admin
edit <code>tile.yml</code> to point to the zipped file:

```bash
cd <your project dir>
zip -r resources/<your project name>.zip <list of file and dirs to include in the zip>
```

If your app is a service broker, use `app-broker` as the type instead of
`app`. The app is automatically registered as a broker on install,
and deleted on uninstall.

The `health_check` type lets you configure the value of the cf CLI `--health_check_type`
option. Expect this option to move into the manifest as soon as Cloud Foundry supports it there.
The only valid options are `none` and `port`.

The `configurable_persistence: true` variable lets you select a backing
service for data persistence. If there is a specific broker you want to use, you can
use the `auto-services` feature, o bind to an already
existing service instance, and use the `services` property of the `manifest` instead.

The `needs_cf_credentials` type causes the app to receive two additional environment
variables named `CF_ADMIN_USER` and `CF_ADMIN_PASSWORD` with the admin credentials
for the <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> into which they are being deployed. This allows apps and
services to interact with the Cloud Controller.

The `consumes` type specifies the [BOSH documentation](https://bosh.io/docs/links.html) to
consume and presents the hosts and properties from the links as
environment variables on the app:

- `<LINK>_HOST`: The address of the first instance of the link.
- `<LINK>_HOSTS`: A JSON array of the addresses of all instances of the link.
- `<LINK>_PROPERTIES`: A JSON object of the properties on the link.

#### <a id="brokers"></a> Service brokers

Most modern service brokers are pushed into <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> as normal
Cloud Foundry apps. For these types of brokers, use the Pushed Application format
specified, but set the type to `app-broker` or `docker-app-broker` instead
of `app` or `docker-app`:

```
- name: my-broker
  type: app-broker
  manifest:
    buildpack: # required
    command:
    domain:
    path:
    # ...
  needs_cf_credentials: true           # optional
  auto_services:                       # optional
  - name: p-mysql
    plan: 100MB
  - name: p-redis
    plan: shared-vm
  enable_global_access_to_plans: true  # optional
```

Unless you specify the <code>enable_global_access_to_plans: true</code> option, your
    broker's services do not appear in the user's Marketplaces.
    You have to use the <code>cf enable-service-access</code> command to allow
    specific users, orgs, and spaces to access your services.

Your broker is automatically registered with the Cloud Controller. The
Cloud Controller calls your broker's endpoints, and it uses basic
authentication to secure those API calls.

The credentials it uses are
passed to your broker in two environment variables:

```
SECURITY_USER_NAME
SECURITY_USER_PASSWORD
```

Your broker is expected to accept those credentials. If it does not, automatic
broker registration fails.

Some service brokers support operator-defined service plans, for instance when
the plans reflect customer license keys. To allow operators to add plans from
the tile configuration, add the following section at the top level of your `tile.yml`:

```
service_plan_forms:
- name: service_plans_1
  label: Service 1 Plans
  description: Specify the plans you want Service 1 to offer
  properties:
  - name: description
    type: string
    description: "Some Description"
    configurable: true
  - name: license_key1
    type: string
    configurable: true
    description: The license key for this plan
  - name: num_seats1
    type: integer
    configurable: true
    description: The number of available seats for this license
    default: 1
    constraints:
      min: 1
      max: 500
```

Name and GUID text boxes are supplied by default for each plan, but all other text boxes
are optional and customizable. Multiple forms are supported. The operator-configured
plans are passed to your service broker in JSON format in an environment variable
named after your form but in ALL CAPS (in this case `SERVICE_PLANS_1`).

For an external service broker, use:

```
- name: my-application
  type: external-broker
  uri: http://broker3.example.com
  user name: user
  password: #secret
  internal_service_names: 'service1,service2'
```

#### <a id="bosh"></a> BOSH releases

You can include [BOSH releases](http://bosh.io/docs/release.html) in
your tile with the `bosh-release` package type.

For example, here is a
package definition to include a Redis BOSH release:

```
- name: redis
  type: bosh-release
  path: resources/redis-13.1.2.tgz
  jobs:
  - name: redis
    templates:
    - name: redis
      release: redis
    memory: 512
    ephemeral_disk: 4096
    persistent_disk: 4096
    instances: 2
    cpu: 2
    static_ip: 0
    dynamic_ip: 1
    default_internet_connected: false
    max_in_flight: 1
    properties:
      password: red!s
  - name: sanity-tests
    templates:
    - name: sanity-tests
      release: redis
    lifecycle: errand
    post_deploy: true
    run_post_deploy_errand_default: when-changed
    memory: 512
    ephemeral_disk: 4096
    persistent_disk: 0
    cpu: 2
    dynamic_ip: 1
```

To include [BOSH documentation](https://bosh.io/docs/links.html) in your
bosh-release package's deployment manifest, you can include the
`consumes` and `provides` declarations *as strings* in the job's
`templates` section, for example:

```
# ...
  jobs:
  - name: job_name
    templates:
    - name: template_name
      consumes:
        consumed_link: {from: foo}
      provides:
        provided_link: {as: bar}
```

#### <a id="buildpacks"></a> Buildpacks

```
- name: my-buildpack
  type: buildpack
  path: resources/buildpack.zip
  buildpack_order: 99     # optional, 99 means end of the list
```

#### <a id="docker"></a> Docker images

Apps packaged as Docker images can be deployed inside or outside <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %>.
To push a Docker image as a Cloud Foundry app, use the *Pushed Application*
format, but use the `docker-app` or `docker-app-broker` type instead
of `app` or `app-broker`.

The Docker image to be used is a specified using
the `image` property:

```
- name: app1
  type: docker-app
  image: test/dockerimage
  manifest:
    ...
```

If this app is also a service broker, use `docker-app-broker` instead of
`docker-app`. This option is appropriate for Docker-wrapped 12-factor apps that
delegate their persistence to bound services.

Docker apps that require persistent storage can not be deployed into
<%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %>.

These can be deployed to separate BOSH-managed VMs instead
by using the `docker-bosh` type:

```
- name: docker-bosh1
  type: docker-bosh
  cpu: 5
  memory: 4096
  ephemeral_disk: 4096
  persistent_disk: 2048
  instances: 1
  manifest: |
    containers:
    - name: redis
      image: "redis"
      command: "--dir /var/lib/redis/ --appendonly yes"
      bind_ports:
      - "6379:6379"
      bind_volumes:
      - "/var/lib/redis"
      entrypoint: "redis-server"
      memory: "256m"
      env_vars:
      - "EXAMPLE_VAR=1"
    - name: mysql
      image: "google/mysql"
      bind_ports:
      - "3306:3306"
      bind_volumes:
      - "/mysql"
    - name: elasticsearch
      image: "bosh/elasticsearch"
      links:
      - mysql:db
      depends_on:
      - mysql
      bind_ports:
      - "9200:9200"
```

If a Docker image cannot be downloaded by BOSH dynamically, provide a ready-made Docker image
and package it as part of the BOSH release. In that case, specify the image as a local file.
This file must be a `.tgz`.

```
- name: docker-bosh2
  type: docker-bosh
  files:
  - path: resources/cfplatformeng-docker-tile-example.tgz
  cpu: 5
  memory: 4096
  ephemeral_disk: 4096
  persistent_disk: 2048
  instances: 1
  manifest: |
    containers:
    - name: test_docker_image
      image: "cfplatformeng/docker-tile-example"
      env_vars:
      - "EXAMPLE_VAR=1"
      # See below on custom forms/variables and binding it to the Docker env variable
      - "custom_variable_name=((.properties.customer_name.value))"
```

To expose a container through the
[<%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> Routing Architecture](https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/concepts/cf-routing-architecture.html),
for example, one of the Docker containers hosts an admin webapp interface,
use the [`routes` property of the apps manifest](https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/manifest-attributes.html#routes) to choose a port and prefix. The external URL
is `[prefix]-[package.name].[system-domain]`.
In this case, the URL is `https://admin-docker-bosh3.sys.example.com`, where `sys.example.com` is the <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %> system domain.
`routes` is a list, so multiple containers can be exposed.

```
- name: docker-bosh3
  type: docker-bosh
  docker_images:
  - "cfplatformeng/database"
  - "cfplatformeng/admin_ui"
  routes:
    - prefix: admin
      port: 8080
  cpu: 5
  memory: 4096
  ephemeral_disk: 4096
  instances: 1
  manifest: |
    containers:
    - name: database
      image: "cfplatformeng/database"
      bind_ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    - name: admin_ui
      image: "cfplatformeng/admin_ui"
      bind_ports:
      - "8080:8080"
```

### <a id="custom-forms"></a> Custom forms and properties

You can pass custom properties to all apps deployed by your tile by adding
the to the properties section of the `tile.yml`file:

```
properties:
- name: author
  type: string
  label: Author
  value: Tile Ninja
```

To make these properties to be configurable by the tile installer, place them on
a custom form instead:

```
forms:
- name: custom-form1
  label: Test Tile
  description: Custom Properties for Test Tile
  properties:
  - name: customer_name
    type: string
    label: Full Name
  - name: street_address
    type: string
    label: Street Address
    description: Address to use for junk mail
  - name: city
    type: string
    label: City
  - name: zip_code
    type: string
    label: ZIP+4
    default: '90310'
  - name: country
    type: dropdown_select
    label: Country
    default: country_us
    options:
    - name: country_us
      label: US
    - name: country_elsewhere
      label: Elsewhere
- name: account-info-1
  label: Account Info
  description: Example Account Information Form
  properties:
  - name: username
    type: string
    label: Username
  - name: password
    type: secret
    label: Password
```

Properties defined in either section are passed to all pushed apps
as environment variables (the name of the environment variable is the same
as the property name but in ALL_CAPS). They can also be referenced in other parts
of the configuration file by using `(( .properties.<property-name> ))` instead
of a hardcoded value.

All properties supported by Tanzu Operations Manager can be used. The syntax is the same
as used by Tanzu Operations Manager, except that for simplicity property blueprints for
form fields do not need to be declared separately. Instead, the declaration
is included in the form itself. For a complete list of supported property
types and syntax, see the
[Property and template references](./property-template-references.html).

Tanzu Operations Manager supports text areas for any type of multi-line credential. If you want a `secret` property to use a text area instead of the default single-line text field, you must set `display_type` to `text_area` in the `property_inputs` section of your property blueprint, as in the example below.

```
property_inputs:
  - reference: secret_meaning
    label: 'Secret Meaning'
    description: 'If you play it backwards...'
    display_type: 'text_area'
```

### <a id='auto-provision'></a> Automatic provisioning of services

Tile Generator automates the provisioning of services. Any app (including
service brokers and Docker-based apps) that are being pushed into <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %>
can automatically be bound to services through the `auto_services`
feature:

```
- name: app1
  type: app
  auto_services:
  - name: p-mysql
    plan: 100mb-dev
  - name: p-redis
```

You can specify any number of service names, pecifying a specific
plan. During deployment, the generated tile creates an instance of each
service if one does not already exist and bind that instance to your
package.

Service instances provisioned this way survive updates, but are deleted
when the tile is uninstalled.

  <p class="note important">
  <span class="note__title"> Important</span> The name variable is the name of the provided <em>service, not the broker</em>. In many cases these are not the same, and a single broker
  might even offer multiple services. Use <code>cf service-access</code> to see the services and plans offered by installed service brokers.</p>


If you do not specify a plan, Tile Generator uses the first plan
listed for the service in the broker catalog. It is a good idea to always
specify a service plan. If you *change* the plan between versions of your
tile, Tile Generator attempts to update the plan while preserving
the service (not causing data loss during upgrade). If the service
does not support plan changes, this causes the upgrade to fail.

The `configurable_persistence` type is really a special case of `auto_services`,
letting the user choose between some standard brokers.

### <a id='declare-dependencies'></a> Declaring product dependencies

When your product has dependencies on others, you can have Tanzu Operations Manager
enforce that dependency by declaring it in your `tile.yml` file as follows:

```
requires_product_versions:
- name: p-mysql
  version: '~> 1.7'
```

If the required product is not present in the <%= vars.platform_name %> installation, Tanzu Operations Manager
displays a message saying
`<your-tile> requires 'p-mysql' version '~> 1.7' as a dependency` and
refuses to install your tile until that dependency is satisfied.

When you use automatic provisioning of services, it is
often appropriate to add those products as a dependency. Tile Generator can
not do this automatically as it can't always determine which product provides
the requested service.

### <a id='orgs-spaces'></a> Orgs and spaces

By default, Tile Generator creates a single new org and space for any
packages that install into <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %>, using the name of the tile and
appending `-org` and `-space`, respectively. The default memory quota for a
newly created org is 1024 (1&nbsp;G).

You can change any of these defaults by
specifying the following properties in `tile.yml` file:

```
org: test-org
org_quota: 4096
space: test-space
```

### <a id="security"></a> Security

If your cf packages need outbound access (including access to other packages
within the same tile), you must apply an appropriate security group.

The following option removes all constraints on outbound traffic:

```
apply_open_security_group: true
```

### <a id="stemcells"></a> Stemcells

Tile Generator defaults to a recent stemcell supported by Tanzu Operations Manager.
In most cases the default is fine, because the stemcell is only used to execute
CF command lines and/or the Docker daemon. But if you have specific stemcell
requirements, you can override the defaults in your `tile.yml` file by including
a `stemcell-criteria` section and replacing the appopriate values:

```yaml
stemcell_criteria:
  os: 'ubuntu-trusty'
  version: '3146.5'
```

You must quote the version to force the type to be a string.

### <a id="custom-errands"></a> Custom errands

Tile Generator supplies standard errands to deploy and delete CF type packages. You can
replace or augment those errands by specifying errand shell commands in your tile.yml
file.

Here is an example of a custom deploy errand to install a buildpack only if a newer
version of that same buildpack is not already present:

```
packages:
- name: my-buildpack
  type: buildpack
  buildpack_order: 0 # Go to head of list
  path: my_buildpack.zip
  deploy: |
    cp my_buildpack.zip my_buildpack-v{{context.version}}.zip
    existing=`cf buildpacks | grep '^my_buildpack'`
    if [ -z "$existing" ]; then
      cf create-buildpack my_buildpack my_buildpack-v{{context.version}}.zip 0

`deploy` and `delete` completely replace the standard errand commands for the
package in which you include them. To keep the standard commands, but
add additional commands to run before or after the standard errand, use
`pre_deploy`, `post_deploy`, `pre_delete`, and `post_delete` instead.


## <a id="versioning"></a> Versioning

Tile Generator uses [semver versioning](http://semver.org/). By default, `tile build`
generates the next patch release. Major and minor releases can be generated
by explicitly specifying `tile build major` or `tile build minor`. Or to
override the version number completely, specify a valid semver version on
the build command, e.g. `tile build 3.4.5`.

No-op content migration rules are generated for every prior release to the
current release, so that Tanzu Operations Manager allows tile upgrades from any
version to any newer version. This depends on the existence of the `tile-history.yml` file.

If you need to be able to upgrade from a
random old version to a new one, you can edit that file, or do:

```
tile build <old-version>
tile build <new-version>
```

The new tile supports upgrades from `old-version`.


## <a id="upgrades"></a> Upgrades

By default, Tile Generator produces all code necessary to do a blue/green,
zero-downtime deployment of all tile components when installing a newer version
over an older one. For most tile versions this is all that is needed.

Tanzu Operations Manager has support for performing upgrade actions, like database migrations,
during a tile upgrade, but this capability is not yet exposed through tile
generator.

For example:

```bash
$ tile build
name: tibco-bwce
icon: icon.png
label: TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition
description: BusinessWorks edition that supports deploying to Cloud Foundry
version: 0.0.2

bosh init-release --dir=cf
bosh generate-package cf_cli
bosh generate-package bwce_buildpack
bosh generate-job install_bwce_buildpack
bosh generate-job remove_bwce_buildpack
bosh create-release --final --tarball=cf_incubator --version 0.0.2

tile generate release
tile generate metadata
tile generate errand install_bwce_buildpack
tile generate errand remove_bwce_buildpack
tile generate content-migrations

created tile tibco-bwce-0.0.2.pivotal
```

This tile includes a single large buildpack and takes less than 15-seconds
to build including the CF CLI download and the BOSH release generation.
