Can I have multiple containers in a dokku Droplet ?

Posted on March 12, 2021

Hi Experts,

I have been using DOKKU droplet to deploy an really tiny application.

Now I would like to deploy another applications in another container …

Can I do that ? Or is DOKKU droplet dedicated to run only one container ?

If so … any docs to help ?

Best regards

Yes, you can deploy multiple applications on your DOKKU droplet. Each application will run in a separate container.

To deploy a new application, simply add a new app on your DOKKU server using the following command:

  1. dokku apps:create your-new-app-name

Then you can continue with the usual process of adding your remote repository and pushing your code to deploy the new app.

For more information on deploying additional applications, check out the DOKKU deployment documentation.

Hope that this helps!
