When I attempt to push to my Dokku droplet, I get this error:
git push dokku master

! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)

I’m not sure what to do now, since there isn’t a log of problems…

Check on the stack trace just below the following lines, you’ll be able to see the error;

If the error is, Error: MONGO_URL must be set in environment. Then it's evident that you haven't created your database for the app.
If the error is, Error: ROOT_URL must be set in environment. Then you'll need to set-up your root_url in the environment.
This resource might be of help, [Dokku on DigitalOcean](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpD9AOcWlgc)
Been running into this problem but figured out. Hope this helps. :)
You need to remove .deploy.lock file if exists in your application folder
rm -rf /home/dokku/YOUR_APP_NAME/.deploy.lock
Check memory usage on the box. I’ve often seen it complain like that when its struggled to build the instance. Or try clearing the git repo on the server.
