Dokku is a platform that allows you to deploy and manage your applications with ease. It offers a simple and efficient way to manage your project and can be used with a variety of tools and programming languages. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Dokku on your Linux Mint system.
Dokku runs on top of Docker, so the first step is to install Docker on your system. Run the following command to install Docker:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io
To install Dokku on your system, run the following command:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dokku/dokku/v0.20.4/bootstrap.sh
sudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.20.4 bash bootstrap.sh
This will download and install the latest version of Dokku on your system.
To access the Dokku dashboard, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:2000 or http://your-server-ip:2000. You should see the Dokku dashboard where you can create new applications and manage existing ones.
To create your first application, click the "Create new app" button on the Dokku dashboard. Fill in the details for your application and click "Create". Dokku will create the necessary files and settings for your application.
To deploy your application, you can either push your code to a Git repository or use Dokku's built-in deployment feature. To deploy from a Git repository, add the remote repository to your local Git repository and push your code to it. Dokku will automatically detect the changes and deploy your application.
To use Dokku's built-in deployment feature, run the following command:
git remote add dokku dokku@your-server-ip:your-app-name
git push dokku master
This will push the code to the specified Dokku application and deploy it.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and deployed your first application with Dokku. Now you can use Dokku to manage your applications with ease.
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!
