It's great for rapid application development! I use it for testing/deploying my code quickly since I only need to push my code for it to work. Unfortunately Heroku is out of my budget currently but Dokku is the next best thing for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Personally I'm still a little wary of using something like Dokku in a production application -- not sure how how secure it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dokku is very easy to setup because it works as a Single Host PaaS. Once installed you can host multiple sites with all different architectures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't scale to multiple hosts. However, in that cases i can use Deis that is inspired on Dokku. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allowed me to have a private cloud setup similar to Heroku, without worrying about "sleep" time or paying unnecessary fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I first used Dokku there were some errors in the build I used, but I was able to find documentation from others who ran into the same issues and those errors have since been addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deploying our product the Heroku way is hassle-free. Setting up an app is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to see more tutorial with pictures. This will not only help me but also when new members join the team, I can just show them the tutorial instead of telling them by myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The newest versions work out of the box when you follow the directions.

I like that the Dokku Team has took ownership of the plugins like Redis and Postgresql (and more) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The error reporting isn't great as it could be.

You have to dig a little deep if something goes wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The freedom of running all the apps on my own hardware. It's very good for testing.

It's also very easy to understand and simple to read the source code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I disliked the thing they require Ubuntu Linux distribution instead of specifying exactly what are the requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was using heroku for my pet projects, however it gets a bit expensice if have a couple of them. I got used to git based deployments and with dokku I can now host a couple of projects on one vps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adding plugins was a bit cumbersome. I got used to it after some time though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it lets you quickly and easily set up a deployment environment you can git push to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I disliked the interface for linking things like database containers to my main container. I also disliked the lack of any quick graphical interface ala the now defunct dokku-alt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dokku is easy to setup and with the deployment by Dockerfile can deploy exactly anything with a really good configuration and separation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to use in multi-host. And it's better to setup a new server when you want update Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So easy to use and set up, while giving you a full paas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Obviously code is getting more complex since the initial bash script(s), so it is a bit more difficult to hack by yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
