Dokku www subdomain

Question

I have set up dokku on digital ocean and deployed my first site successfully like this:

git remote add dokku dokku@myfirstdomain.com:myfirstdomain.com git push dokku master

I can access this first site by visiting either http://www.mydomain.com or http://mydomain.com

I have set up my second site in the same way

git remote add dokku dokku@myseconddomain.com:myseconddomain.com git push dokku master

I can access my second site by going to http://myseconddomain.com but when I try to access using http://www.myseconddomain.com it shows the site from myfirstdomain.com

How do I set up the www subdomain so http://www.myseconddomain.com correctly loads the myseconddomain content?

I have pointed the * A record and @ A record of both domains to the ip address of my droplet

I have very similar problem I have myapp.com deployed on dokku and I NEED www.myapp.com subdomain to point to the same app. also I have foo.myapp.com (deployed on dokku) but somehow www.myapp.com always points to this app instead of root… Did you manage to workaround this?

For other folks who may run into this, this should solve the issue:

domains:add name_of_site www.domainname.extension

And, if you happen to be running Django, be sure to add “.domainname.extension” to your ALLOWED_HOSTS settings.

Try the redirects plugin, works for me.https://github.com/Mordred/dokku-redirects-plugin/pull/5/files

Ok it turns out that eveytime I push this get overwritten. SO need another solution

I tried dokku-domains-plugin but didn’t seem to work.

So in nginx.conf for my second app I changed

server_name myseconddomain.com ;

to

server_name myseconddomain.com www.myseconddomain.com ;

I think this should be fine when I push changes but as I understand will no longer work if I delete my second app and add back again? - I am new to nginx / dokku so just feeling my way at the moment

@maestrrr I copied from .ssh/id_rsa.pub and pasted in the input field that you get when first setting up Dokku.
