Dokku maintainer here. Happy to help you debug why this is happening on our discord/slack. Links here: https://dokku.com/docs/getting-started/where-to-get-help/

Dokku supports Kubernetes as a scheduler, utilizing k3s in the background. You don't need to think about Kubernetes other than if you want a custom chart or something on the cluster.

There are also plugins available that allow acl-based access, and Dokku Pro supports keys (and folks have built their own alternatives that do similar).

That said, disco seems neat. Always love seeing tools in the PaaS space :)

For better or worse, folks _really_ like a free UI. Dokku doesn't offer that (Dokku Pro is paid). With AI increasingly making that sort of thing easier to build - and Dokku being very easy to integrate via MCP but also good for building tools on top of - I'm not actually sure how to proceed with Dokku Pro.

Whether it's a worthy mention or not, I'm not sure. I'd like to think its worthy :)

Disclaimer: I am the maintainer.

This plus a block-based editor like editorjs would be a great addition to any custom cms.

I am gonna be that guy and say it would be nice to share the actual code vs using images to display what the code looks like. It's not great for screenreaders and anyone who want to quickly try out the functionality.

There are just a ton of features that evolved separately from the core project. Plugins allow folks to do things in the project that the maintainers didn't envision or have time to maintain - that's actually how the datastores came to be. I think being extensible has made some things more difficult - particularly maintenance of the main project - but also made it have longevity for folks as they can mold the system to work as they'd like (the plethora of community plugins speak to that). It's a bit like how programming languages have modules or packages you can install/import into your app.

The datastore plugins were initially external as there was a ton of movement in maintaining them and it was at a different pace from the main project, though I'm now working on ways to bring them back into the core as they've stabilized quite a bit over the past decade.

This is pretty neat. I think using the compose yaml file to document what should be running is pretty powerful at smaller scales (though I'm hesitant to place data in docker volumes as people tend to delete things at will and then are shocked that their data is gone).

I once spoke with the manager of the Compose project and it was news to them that folks used it in production for deploys. The lack of tooling around zero-downtime restarts makes that frustrating, so it's exciting to see projects that introduce that in some fashion.

Cool stuff!

Its not like they change CEOs every year - Tim Cook has been CEO since 2011.

Lots of these companies are YC companies, and they tend to use other YC products. For those that aren't, its easier to just use what other big names are using, and having YC as a backing name is quite useful in that regard.

Would love to hear about what you think is "light" about Dokku if you have some time for feedback.

Regardless, hope you find a tool you're happy with :)

Dokku is multi node. It supports docker-local (single node) and k3s (multi-node) as schedulers, with most features implemented as expected when deploying to k3s.

Dokku supports distributed compute via our k3s scheduler plugin. This can setup its own k3s cluster or connect to an existing Kubernetes cluster and deploys helm charts on this clusters for your app.

Nah Dokku really is mostly a labor of love. Originally I started working on it to provide a Heroku alternative for a group of students that couldn't afford what they needed to on Heroku (this was like... in 2014) and I've since been using it to run all my own stuff and the occasional client install when I do freelance.

This one is interesting because Vault has an enterprise product which I assume (hope?) Fly is paying for. That enterprise version includes performance replicas, which allows for cross-region replication of secrets with region-local reads (and slightly lower writes). The OP almost makes it sound like they are using the non-enterprise versions (or at the very least, not taking advantage of this particular functionality).

That said, I'd imagine with large enough scale, these sorts of features break anyways.

We support 4 different ones to give folks choice. Some folks want/need features that aren't available on one vs the other (traefik has a ton of features, caddy is simple to configure, nginx has a ton of documentation) so it made sense from that perspective. It was also easy to add once I had the pattern going (though the default has stayed nginx).

One of the main features of Dokku is it's extensibility. You can cut one part out and replace it with another quite easily, and proxying is an example of that. I think that flexibility allows folks to use it in more situations than one otherwise would, though at the cost of being more difficult to maintain (and harder to have cohesion between parts of the system at times).

Dokku doesn't have an _official open source_ UI. There are a few unofficial OSS ones (Ledokku is the latest) that I'm aware of.

There is have a commercial offering in Dokku Pro (https://pro.dokku.com). It's paid (one-time lifetime license) but only so that I can at least partially cover my development time on it. The project is enough work on top of Dokku that I feel it is justified, especially as there is nothing stopping others from doing so, OSS or otherwise.

For proxying requests, Dokku currently supports:

    - nginx on the host (default)
    - traefik (via docker labels)
    - caddy (via docker labels)
    - haproxy (via docker labels)

We'll also soon support nginx via docker labels, which will work around issues where Docker sometimes assigns random IP addresses (and unlock TCP/UDP proxying as well).

I can't say anything else about Coolify since I haven't used it in a while, but I'd be curious as to what other parts are more modern about Coolify than Dokku.

I don't really have a business model. I do take donations from Open Collective (and Github Sponsors, which funnels to OC) and there is Dokku Pro, but those don't collect anywhere near the funds I'd need to stop my dayjob (at least now. Maybe someday?).

My business model is that code releasing is something I'm pretty passionate about. Dokku isn't even originally my project (Jeff Lindsay started it, I just took it over), but I've been working on it for almost a decade. It's open source and fairly simple, so even if something happened to me, others could theoretically continue the project on as desired (or build on top of it if need be).

I'd be interested in hearing any of your other concerns though :)
