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 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.
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 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, the postgresql/app_name got created. Dokku just didn’t see it as its own.
So I went nano /home/dokku/app_name/ENV and set my DATABASE_URL environment variable to
export 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.
