#dokku — Public Fediverse posts

6 years ago hosting a #Elixir #Phoenix app was daunting.

From #Gigalixir, #Render, to #Flyio.

The tools from those providers did a lot, but at the time there's always something missing that needed manual fixing and custom scripting.

Finally settled on a good cheap VPS that I could control.

I wanted an experience similar to Heroku and a #Dokku VPS did the job.

I like it. Few edge cases, and since I know my way around docker I'll manage just fine.

Dokku is a Docker powered mini-Heroku in around 200 lines of Bash that lets you set up your own Platform-as-a-Service infrastructure at a fraction of the cost. This makes it possible for you to host your own apps with all of the features offered by an actual provider like Heroku. (- Dave Kiss)

Server-Wartung Session done 🛠️

Was in einer Opencode-Session so alles zusammenkommt:

Dauer ca. 20 Minuten
#glm52 über #ollama cloud
knapp über 70k token

🔧 Forgejo 15.0.2 → 15.0.3
gepatched (ps:rebuild, app.ini ROOT verifiziert, health grün)

🗑️ Aufgeräumt - 2 stillgelegte Services entfernt:
- Open WebUI (KI-Chat, docker-image deploy) - Skill, nginx conf, SSL cert, update-check raus
- opencode-web (dev.premium-web.ai) - systemd service, nginx conf, SSL cert, update-check raus

🏗️ Refactored - monolithische 355-Zeilen `update.sh` in modulare Struktur:
- `lib/common.sh` + `lib/version-check.sh` (shared helpers)
- `checks/{forgejo,immich,backup,system}.sh` (eine Datei pro Service)
- Neuer Service = 1 Datei + 1 Zeile in Main
- Borg secrets aus Skript in `.env` ausgelagert

🛡️ Backup-Check rewrite - recency statt nur count:
- Borg `--last 1 --json` → neuestes Archiv muss <26h alt sein
- DB-Dump-Freshness-Check mit explizitem Alter
- 3 pure Hilfsfunktionen + Orchestrator
- Bugfix: zeigte 2.70 TB (compressed) statt 263 GB (dedup) - jetzt korrekt

📚 Doku aktualisiert - AGENTS.md, home.md, backup SKILL.md:
- Aktuelle Services, modulares Update-System, "Adding a new check" Howto
- restic komplett entfernt (incompatible mit Hetzner Storagebox) - Borg-only
- 7 commits, alle gepusht (auto-deploys Doku via Forgejo Actions)

Fazit: Infrastructure-as-code feels good ✨

At some point my #Mastodon #Dokku image stopped doing the one thing it was made to.

This update bumps the Mastodon version and fixes the streaming server.

Was encountering this issue before I upgraded Dokku.

Couldn't get to the bottom of it and it meant I couldn't deploy any updates to 2 of my #PHP projects on #Dokku

Installing the multibyte string extension was causing errors with an undefined symbol for PQchangePassword (a PostgreSQL thing) made no sense and I didn't have time / energy to dig into it.

How did I fix a deployment issue I was having?

Just said fuck it and upgraded #Dokku

YOLO OPS.

I wonder what I should for pet-project-grade self hosting for web apps.

I've been using #Dokku on the existing Hetzner server, which makes simple things certainly simple, but it has its limits and found a handful of annoying bugs over the last ~year I've been using it.

Keen to shop around for something else that uses containers and is still simple enough for simple things, but isn't as much as an overkill like Kubernetes.

Anyone has recommendations?

just deleted the server for my old online course business from digital ocean

rails 4, spree, #dokku, $5/mo droplet.

8 years of 100% uptime

not bad. infra doesn't have to be fancy.

Just bumped my #Dokku #Mastodon project to 4.5

For the 3 people who happen to use it - it works great!

In the process, while updating #ruby, I also ended up upgrading my #dokku host, broke all my hosted website for a moment because of conflicts in #nginx (which was being launched by the system and so dokku could not launch it to reverse-proxy dokku apps...) but hey, now everything's upgraded and works 💪

Good #Morning all. I am drinking my #Coffee and doing some server maintenance.

Scratching my head as to why when I updated docker not all of my running containers came back up. They are managed by #Dokku but I had to manually restart four of them.

Need to investigate why. :cofeepot:

Small step for #DigitalSovereignty . Migrated #QWAN 's 152 git repositories to a self-hosted #gitea (after #bitbucket demainded money. we don't need issue trackers etc, so even gitea is overkill. I rarely use the web ui of these things, only to search a repository and clone it). h/t #dokku for making the first steps easy and @berthub.eu.articles for raising awareness.

I continue to be delighted by #Dokku and impressed with its community. When was the last time I actually enjoyed migrating a #RubyOnRails app to a new server?

Like, I think my notes on moving legacy #RubyOnRails apps to #Dokku aren't super-long and are pretty focused, but could have a market—especially for a low price point. My joke's been this would be part of the "works on my machine" series.

Been helping a non-profit move a#RubyOnRails app from a Capistrano deploy to #Dokku. Why haven't I been using this more often? It's not perfect, but damn Heroku-like and way better than bare metal.

@jasongorman #babysteps turns out #nextcloud architectural spike does not have to be a big step for me - I already have #dokku with #letsencrypt set up at #hetzner, and someone has documented how to do nextcloud - https://bitjockey.dev/deploying-nextcloud-on-dokku/ . Maintaining and upgrading a vm with dokku has been low effort compared to other ways of hosting stuff (including wading through cloud consoles and api docs).

Тыак. Первый заказной бот задеплоен на домашний #dokku. Свет бы теперь пореже выключали :-)

@dewey hey, just wanted to say thank you for creating https://github.com/dewey/dokku-nginx-override-by-app

It's functionality I have wanted to see in #Dokku for a while now, but haven't had the time to figure out how to write in.

Having blasted through two years of upgrades to my #GoToSocial instance I am now sat looking fearful at the v4.3.0 upgrade of #Mastodon.

They have split the Docker image into one for web and one for streaming which is great and compatible with how I have things setup in #Dokku, the new environment variables shouldn't be difficult to set.

It all looks easy enough, however if I hadn't read the release notes first it could have gone badly...

Just updated https://github.com/cooperaj/dokku-mastodon to 4.3.1.

I'm sure the cross section of Dokku users and Mastodon self-hosters is pretty small but this does make it all quite easy 😆

#Dokku: my favorite personal serverless platform

https://hamel.dev/blog/posts/dokku/

It’s Friday late afternoon, so I guess it’s gonna be good time for the thread about tech and business. I concluded #Kubernetes migration away from #Dokku on my side gig. Yay! It took me two weeks to fully migrate all environments, continuous integration and deployment pipelines.

Production instance caught less than five minutes of downtime in total.

My compute bill is going to be 2x of what it was before.

My reasons for moving away from Dokku:
* 0-downtime deployments
* Deployment 1 🧵
