He did not force anyone to vote for Trump. If you regret your choice you have only yourself to blame. Take responsibility.

Weird indeed. It might sounds obvious, but are you sure that you have created your Dokku application on your remote droplet and not on your local workstation?

Agreed. But those self-righteous idiots are becoming legion on SO. The case I described in my comment seems to happen with a lot of others as well.

Moreover, I always wondered what was all the big fuss about posting a question lacking details or not clear enough. Why is it so infuriating? I don't get it. If someone ask a question and I don't understand it, I can either gently ask that person to clarify the question or simply ignore the question completely. In both cases I didn't act like a jerk and the problem is solved.

I posted a Delphi question a few months ago, which I thought was well formed and clear, only to be laughed at by some "holier than thou" jerks. I got so annoyed by the rudeness and immature schoolyard attitude that I deleted the question and told myself I would not post to SO again. That's a true story. I would tend to agree that SO has become a hostile environment recently.

Hi Dushyant, sorry for the late response too! I've updated the post to add your solution (Section Troubleshooting).

Nice catch, thanks! I've updated the post.

Hi Arief, I'm glad you liked the tutorial!

Sure, you can push multiple apps on the same droplet. Simply create your new app the same way we did in the tutorial. (eg. dokku apps:create myapp2).

Then, create your pg database. (eg. dokku psql:create myapp2)

Finally, associate your new git repo to this app (e.g. git remote add dokku dokku@your-droplet-ip:myapp2)

Hope this helps.

Very strange. I never got this error, not even once.

maybe you'll find some hints to resolve your issue here: https://github.com/dokku/do...

If you manage to fix the problem, let me know and I'll make sure to update the post. That will help others who might stumble onto the same issue. Good luck!

Just guessing here, are you using the latest Puma version (3.4.0)? What is the complete error message at delploy? The pre-receive hook declined message is coming from GiT and it is displayed whenever the deploy fail.

Try doing ssh dokku@your-app-domain-or-ip logs yourapp and see if you can find a more detailed error message.

No experience, but I'd guess it's a matter of dumping the DB on heroku and restoring it on dokku using a plugin (e.g. dokku psql:restore myapp dumpfile_location). Thanks for the comment!

Re: How to backup your postgres database on SpiderOak using Dokku

That's interesting, thanks for the suggestion Karim! Might be the subject for another post :) I chose SpiderOak mainly because of their zero knowledge architecture. I'm impressed by their commitment on privacy.

Re: Deploy your Rails applications like a pro with Dokku and DigialOcean

Frank — Wed, 27 Apr 2016 09:40:37 -0000

Hmm, something strange definitely happened there. A few things you can try:

1. Make sure that Gemfile.lock is not .gitignored
2. Have a look at the production log file (dokku logs yourappname)
3. Maybe the error is related to Puma? Try reverting back to Webrick by temporarily removing the Procfile

Good luck!

Hi Jose. The gems are fetched and installed from the external source (i.e. rubygems.org) only if they are not already installed on the target machine. The gemfile.lock file is only updated if new gems are installed when the "bundle install" command is executed. If the gems are already there, there will be no "reinstall" and gemfile.lock will not be updated.

What is the problem you have with gemfile.lock exactly? I may be able to help you out. Do you have an error message?

Thanks Ariff, I think I will update the post and add a section about setting environment variables in dokku.

That's great, let me know how it went!

Re: Deploy your Rails applications like a pro with Dokku and DigialOcean

Hello Ariff, I'm glad my tutorial helped you!

The "12factor way" (which is embraced by Dokku/Heroku), encourages you to set your secrets in environment variables. The recommended way, then, is to commit secrets.yml to your repo and use an environment vaiable instead of an hardcoded value for secret_key_base.

Then, the Ruby buildpack will automatically set the SECRET_KEY_BASE environment variable based on a pre-generated random value, as you can see here: https://github.com/heroku/h...

Augusts Bautra: Since Dokku 0.5 you can run your database migrations on deploy. Have a look at the updated post!

Interesting, Juan! I'll certainly try it to see how it goes. Thanks

Thanks for your comment Augusts. Unfortunately I didn't have time to check this yet.

I'm almost certain it's a matter of adding a docker "deploy"option for your app. Connect to your droplet as root and have a look at the following command:

dokku docker-options yourapp
