Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
With the current CF CLI commands it is not possible to update the stack of an application without having access to its source code. Only cf push offers an option to update the stack of an application.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have an update-stack command supported by the CF CLI
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative is:
- use the CF APIs to update the app stack
cf curl "/v3/apps/<app-guid>" -X PATCH -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{
"lifecycle": {
"type": "buildpack",
"data": {
"stack": "cflinuxfs4"
}
}
}'
- restage the applicaiton
cf restage <app-name>
Another alternative is to use the stack-authitor plugin. Unfortunately, it is not using the V3 APIs and installation of plugins could be an issue in some OPs environments.
