Managed Dokku, looked after for you

Dokku gives you a small Heroku-like platform on your own server. It is simple, and it still needs plugin updates, certificates and backups of app data.

What we handle

Dokku: what we look after

  • Dokku install and updates
  • Buildpacks, plugins and domains configured
  • Certificates and HTTP redirects set up
  • Backups of app storage and databases
Problems we fix

When Dokku goes wrong

  • A deploy that fails because the server is out of memory
  • Certificates that did not renew
  • Data in a database plugin with no backup
Who it suits

Who uses managed Dokku

Developers who like git push deploys on their own server.

What it needs

A Linux server with 2 GB of RAM or more and Docker.

First look

What we check first

Before we change anything on a new Dokku setup, we look at these, and we tell you what we found in plain words:

  • The list of plugins and their versions
  • Whether certificates renew and HTTP redirects to HTTPS
  • Whether database plugins have backups
How it works

From order to a watched Dokku setup

Dokku is part of every managed plan. Besides what is listed above, each plan includes outside checks every minute, off-server backups, security hardening and a team that answers your tickets. The price counts servers, not apps.

01

Tell us what you run

Order a managed plan and list your servers and the apps on them, or write to us first with questions.

02

We look before we touch

We check what is installed, what is out of date and what is not backed up, and tell you in plain words.

03

Backups and watching first

Backups and outside checks are set up before any change, so we can always go back.

04

Then the steady work

Updates, security, tuning and fixes follow, and you can ask us anything by ticket.

Plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server. GST is added at checkout. See all managed plans.
