I'm using Dokku for my side projects and needed to make sure I had database backups. My Dokku instance is on DigitalOcean, so I wanted the backups to be there too.

Was encountering this issue before I upgraded Dokku.

Couldn't get to the bottom of it and it meant I couldn't deploy any updates to 2 of my #PHP projects on #Dokku

Installing the multibyte string extension was causing errors with an undefined symbol for PQchangePassword (a PostgreSQL thing) made no sense and I didn't have time / energy to dig into it.

How did I fix a deployment issue I was having?

Just said fuck it and upgraded #Dokku

YOLO OPS.

I wrote up some notes on serving a monorepo with separate frontend (React, Svelte, etc.) and API-only backend (FastAPI, Django, etc.) apps with dokku, since I couldn't find much info on this setup specifically. I've been running it for awhile and it's working great.

Dokku is a Docker powered mini-Heroku in around 200 lines of Bash that lets you set up your own Platform-as-a-Service infrastructure at a fraction of the cost. This makes it possible for you to host your own apps with all of the features offered by an actual provider like Heroku. (- Dave Kiss)

I wonder what I should for pet-project-grade self hosting for web apps.

I've been using #Dokku on the existing Hetzner server, which makes simple things certainly simple, but it has its limits and found a handful of annoying bugs over the last ~year I've been using it.

Keen to shop around for something else that uses containers and is still simple enough for simple things, but isn't as much as an overkill like Kubernetes.

Anyone has recommendations?

not bad. infra doesn't have to be fancy.

Just bumped my #Dokku #Mastodon project to 4.5

For the 3 people who happen to use it - it works great!

Hosting Websites at Home with a Framework Mainboard, Cooler Master Case, Dokku, and Cloudflare

When we at Framework came out with the Cooler Master Case last year, which can turn any old mainboard from our laptops into a full-fledged mini computer, my mind ran wild with ideas. Should I move โ€ฆ

In the process, while updating #ruby, I also ended up upgrading my #dokku host, broke all my hosted website for a moment because of conflicts in #nginx (which was being launched by the system and so dokku could not launch it to reverse-proxy dokku apps...) but hey, now everything's upgraded and works ๐Ÿ’ช
