Package Bundle
==============
All assets get bundled into a custom filetype with an extension of ``.s9pk``, short for Start9 Package. This is the file that will be downloaded from a marketplace. When the user clicks a service's "Install" button, StartOS unpacks and installs the service.
The minimum necessary files for this bundle are:
- image.tar (the result of a Dockerfile build)
- instructions.md
- LICENSE
- icon.png
Each new version release of a service should include the updated version of these files re-bundled into a new ``.s9pk``. .
Building
--------
To package all components into an ``.s9pk``, run the following command from the root of your project directory:
.. code:: bash
start-sdk pack
Let's also make sure to verify the validity of the package:
.. code:: bash
start-sdk verify s9pk /path/to/hello-world.s9pk
If anything goes wrong, an error message will indicate the missing component or other failure.
