This is tangential - anybody have a reasonably clean way of running JVM apps on fly?

Given that the deploy model of a jettified jar is so clean in comparison to the various hipster stacks ;) that they do have primary support for, I'm not sure why they don't have much in the way of documentation for it. I did find a support thread that refers to https://archive.is/o9YE1, which seems like a fairly gross and opaque sequence of steps.

@tptacek, what are the chances that somebody at Fly could produce a more streamlined recipe and/or documentation for JVM apps?

If you avoid buildpacks altogether and just go straight to Dockerfiles then life suddenly becomes good. Speaking from my own experience.

they support docker as a second class citizen.

Docker (or rather OCI) is our first class citizen. The launchers for phoenix/rails/etc just generate dockerfiles and config by inspecting source code.
