I used this buildpack successfully: https://github.com/bcavileer/dokku-buildpack-ember-cli
I just added an .env in the root directory of ember-cli project

export BUILDPACK_URL='https://github.com/bcavileer/dokku-buildpack-ember-cli'

Then I committed the code and pushed the project to my dokku host which was deployed successfully.

I found this fork https://github.com/tonycoco/dokku-buildpack-ember-cli, Which seems more active and maintained than https://github.com/bcavileer/dokku-buildpack-ember-cli

Just make .env file in ember-cli root folder with this line:

export BUILDPACK_URL='https://github.com/tonycoco/heroku-buildpack-ember-cli'

and then push the repository to your dokku.

Hello,

I’ve got everything setup and working with Dokku using the sample application, however..

when adding the “.env” file to the root
—->(that contains=> export BUILDPACK_URL=’https://github.com/tonycoco/heroku-buildpack-ember-cli’,)

the website returns a “502 Bad Gateway” nginx response.

The app i’m trying to deploy is named mobile-patterns.

The .env is located at the root of this app.

Something that might be throwing it off is that even when following the stock instructions about deploying the sample app, it didn’t deploy to the subdomain, but rather the root domain. This worked for the sample, but not the ‘mobile-patterns’ version.. Not sure if this causes conflict, but I want to deploy my application to the root, not a sub-domain. It’s not working with my own app however…

Here’s the log for the deploy..
