I have a DO VPS set up for Dokku and I wanted to know if it is possible to host multiple websites on one Dokku droplet and how to do so.
Thank you so much in advance.

×In order to host multiple websites on one Dokku droplet. You should use the “virtualhost naming” scheme. You can use Dokku as normal, and each app you push will be available at a subdomain with the same name as the app. For example: appname.your-domain.com Check out this Dokku tutorial for more details.
If the sites need to be on completely separate domains, take a look at the dokku-domains-plugin on GitHub. You can install it with:
git clone https://github.com/wmluke/dokku-domains-plugin.git /var/lib/dokku/plugins/domains-plugin
dokku plugins-install
And then set the domain for an app like:
dokku domains:set myapp www.myapp.com
Hi,
I followed the instructions on the given links, but I have some issues. I have deployed two nodeJS apps (main and admin).
The DNS settings look like this:
First, a regular A record (example.com)
Second, a wildcard A record (*.example.com)
I would expect to view my main app when i visit main.example.com but I both cases I can see just the admin app.
What exactly is wrong?
Cheers

Hi, Andrew.
I’ve set the separate domain for my app (“anyapp.com”) with plugin.
But what type of record should I create on my domain? Should I appoint it to my ip (I need several apps on the same droplet)? Could you detail this, please?
Thank you!
