dokku-dockerfile
Deploy your applications via Dockerfile, while keeping your project root clean of auxiliary files.
Installation
sudo dokku plugin:install https://github.com/mimischi/dokku-dockerfile.git
Commands
dockerfile:set <app> <path/to/Dockerfile> Set custom path to Dockerfile
dockerfile:unset <app> Unset custom path to Dockerfile
dockerfile:report <app> Report custom path to Dockerfile
Usage
Dokku will look for a Dockerfile in the project root, when building a
non-buildpack application. Depending on the projects structure, it's desirable
to keep deployment specific files in subdirectories. This plugin points Dokku
to the relative path of the Dockerfile.
To deploy an application with a directory structure as shown below, one would use the following command:
dokku dockerfile:set <app> docker/dokku/Dockerfile
Example project structure
.
├── app
│ ├── [...]
├── docker
│ ├── dokku
│ │ ├── Dockerfile
│ │ ├── [...]
│ └── local
│ ├── Dockerfile-dev
├── docker-compose.yml
└── README.md
Behind the scenes
During the deploy process, this plugin copies the Dockerfile specified path to
the projects root, enabling Dokku to build it.
