   Dokku is the absolute best thing for simple deployments. After getting tangled up in Kubernetes world it’s a breath of fresh air.

   I used Dokku extensively back in 2016 (and wrote some plugins for it), and it’s one of those great things that’s STILL good years later.

   Why it’s good:

   1. It doesn’t care about “clusters”. It’s just one machine.
   2. You can git push code to it.
   3. Wildcard subdomain where * is the Dokku app name.
   4. It’s written almost entirely in bash.
   5. No database. Data is stored in files with a simple structure you can edit by hand.
   6. Plugins make things really easy. Just add {"dokku": {"plugins": ["postgres"]}} to app.json and it attaches a database to your deployment.
   7. ???
   8. Review apps.

   I would use this again.

     That looks nice. I’d never heard of it before. I’ll try to give it a test drive today.

     I had to use it for something once and I didn't know much about it or care to investigate but it worked so it's still on my list of good things if I need to pick it from a list lol
