Dokku always deploy to the top level domain

Posted on September 15, 2014

Dears, I’m new to Dokku and I need a little help

After installing an image with Dokku and adding the SSH keys and everything I have 2 node.js apps and I want them to be at node1.example.com and node2.example.com

The issue I’m facing is that when I do a git push I find that the top level domain ex:“example.com” always points to the latest app deployed and also the subdomain is not working

So that means that any app I deploy always gets deployed to the top level domain and not a subdomain

Isn’t Dokku who handles this or there’s any configurations from my side ?

command used to deply: After cloning a git repo

git remote add node1 dokku@example.com:node1

git push node1 master

of course I’ve changed example.com to my domain name and updated the records on DO’s DNS page

Even after the deployment is done Dokku says:

=====> Application deployed: http://node1.example.com

but when I try to open the URL I get a white page and when I visit the top level domain I get the app

So please help and thanks for your time

Guys thank you a lot it worked :) I had to change my DNS settings from *.msaleh.me to just * and wait for 3 to 6 hours Thanks a lot :)

The top level domain problem I fixed by manually defining the domain for one of the apps.

At the end of the execution for git push node1 master you should have a message saying which domian was given to your app. e.g. http://example.com:49153 or http://node1.example.com

My website’s top level domain http://txgruppi.com/ is actually the http://site.txgruppi.com/ app

Guys, My current settings are: http://i.imgur.com/xWQZKg9.png

And it still didn’t work
