Dokku is a simple open-source Platform as a Service (PaaS) that allows you to deploy and manage your applications on any server. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Dokku on MXLinux Latest.
Before we begin, you need to ensure that you have:
First, we need to install some dependencies required by Dokku. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git make curl software-properties-common python-pip sqlite3 acl openssl openssh-client
Next, we will install Dokku using the official installation script. The script will automatically download and install the latest stable version of Dokku.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dokku/dokku/v0.24.11/bootstrap.sh
sudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.24.11 bash bootstrap.sh
After the installation is complete, you should see a message that says "Dokku installation complete".
By default, Dokku is configured to listen on all network interfaces. If you wish to restrict access to Dokku, you can specify the IP address that it should bind to. To do this, edit the configuration file at /home/dokku/VHOST.
sudo nano /home/dokku/VHOST
Replace the line that reads "0.0.0.0" with the IP address of your server. Save the file and exit.
Dokku uses SSH to authenticate users and deploy applications. You need to add your SSH public key to Dokku before you can use it.
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh dokku@"your-server-ip" "sshcommand acl-add dokku your-username"
Replace "your-server-ip" with the IP address of your server and "your-username" with your username. Enter your SSH password when prompted.
Finally, we can verify that Dokku is installed and working properly by browsing to the Dokku web console.
http://your-server-ip:2000
You should see the Dokku dashboard, which shows a list of installed applications and allows you to create new ones.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dokku on MXLinux Latest. You can now start deploying your applications on your own PaaS.
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!
