Dokku is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) tool that allows you to deploy and manage applications on your own server. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Dokku on Clear Linux Latest.
Prerequisites:
Before installing Dokku, it is recommended to update the package manager to ensure that you have the latest packages.
sudo swupd update
sudo swupd bundle-add package-utils
Next, you need to install Dokku on your server. You can install Dokku using the following command.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dokku/dokku/v0.23.2/bootstrap.sh
sudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.23.2 bash bootstrap.sh
This will download the Dokku bootstrap script and run it with elevated privileges.
After installing Dokku, you need to configure it to work with your domain name. To do this, set the hostname for your server using the following command.
sudo dokku config:set --global DOKKU_HOSTNAME=yourdomain.com
Replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name.
Dokku requires an SSH key to authenticate deployments. You can generate a new SSH key using the following command.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com"
Replace "your_email@example.com" with your actual email address.
Next, you need to add your SSH key to Dokku. You can do this using the following command. Replace "your_key_file.pub" with the location of your SSH public key file.
cat your_key_file.pub | ssh root@yourdomain.com "sudo sshcommand acl-add dokku your-key-name"
Replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name and "your-key-name" with a name for your SSH key.
You can access the Dokku dashboard by visiting your server's IP address or domain name on port 2000 in your web browser.
http://yourdomain.com:2000
You should see the Dokku dashboard where you can create and manage your applications.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dokku on Clear Linux Latest. Now you can deploy and manage your applications on your own server using Dokku.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
