Today I wanted to take a stab at getting a rails app deployed with dokku, so I followed the walkthrough found here (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-use-the-dokku-one-click-digitalocean-image-to-run-a-ruby-on-rails-app)
When I try to run dokku postgresql:create app_name it advises me to update docker.
I update docker following the directions found here http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/upgrading/
I then create the database.
Now when I try git push dokku master it just hangs…
Anyone run into issues with this?

I had the same problem and found a solution. When I ran
dokku postgresql:create app_name
, I got the “please update” notice, but actually when I looked in docker containers, thepostgresql/app_name
got created. Dokku just didn’t see it as its own. So I wentnano /home/dokku/app_name/ENV
and set myDATABASE_URL
environment variable toexport DATABASE_URL="$PRODUCTION_ADAPTER://$PRODUCTION_USERNAME:$PRODUCTION_PASSWORD@$PRODUCTION_HOST:$PRODUCTION_PORT/$PRODUCTION_DB?encoding=utf-8"
according to link. Then when I pushed the app again to dokku, it got the database from the ENV and everything worked smoothly.
Can you point to a tutorial please? I’m having a ‘Your docker version is too old, please update it’ even after apt-get install upgrade…
I ended up doing a manual install of Dokku on a fresh Ubuntu 13.04 to work around this. It’s actually quite easy and works without issue.
A number of the tutorial examples use Kloadut’s PostgreSQL plugin for Dokku, which now requires Docker version 0.7.2 or higher, but the one click app installs Docker version 0.6.6. Is there a way to work around this?
Dokku probably doesn’t support the version of docker you updated to. Does it work on the “old” version?
