set up dokku server

attempt using custom subdomain with dokku+ec2, get frustrated #hapramp

Dokku: Starting going through this guide: dokku.com/docs/deployment/app… Got stuck for ~40mins on `git push dokku main` b/c I hadn't run the `git remote add dokku <url>` command correctly: I had to specify my droplet's IP instead of my domain name (b/c cloudflare blocks port 22), I wasn't supposed to start the URL with ssh://, and I somehow ended up with the wrong IP in the URL at one point.

Set up new staging server

get dokku up-and-running on linode

Continuing to try to get my dokku API to work, looking into an `ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED` error. I posted for help on the dokku github: github.com/dokku/dokku/issues… I suspect the issue may be caused by my not having SSL set up but I'm not sure. I can't even find the logs where the refused connection is being logged.

spin up two dokku vps live & staging

mk build for forum.readonlyrest.com/t/host…

start move to discourse hosted from self-hosted #nomads forum cause docker is bullshit

Looking into why `git push dokku main` didn't work. After much Googling, it was because my $5/mo 1 GB droplet didn't have enough RAM to build the Ruby on Rails demo app. So my plan is to use the $12/mo droplet to get the demo working and then try to downgrade to the $5/mo droplet when I switch to trying to use Dokku with my Go backend.

Setup WP site on DO droplet #superremoteconf

Started learning Dokku / trying to set it up with Digital Ocean. ty @ben ... joined the dokku discord; went through this guide: dokku.com/docs/getting-starte… ; switched my whatdo domain in DigitalOcean to point to the new dokku droplet ; asked for help in the forum to understand what it means for "the web UI [to be] submitted": github.com/dokku/dokku/discus… ; I think it's referring to the DO UI for creating the new droplet ; next step for tomorrow: go through this guide: dokku.com/docs/deployment/app…

Finish my initial test of self-hosted PaaS solutions and post about it on X: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… Next up: moving #unblockdomains to Dokku as a test and blogging about it !private
