I’ve run high-ish traffic production sites on Dokku for years. If you need just one server, it’s a dream for Rails/PG/Redis setup. Amazing what reliability it provides. Almost completely written in bash!
Awesome. I’ve always worried what it can handle, and therefore only run projects on it until they were more serious. But in that context, I’ve never had a problem (and run them longer than that anyway). To around the 50-100k user per month. Mostly reads tho.
Could you share more, please? I use the very same stack and I think with the biggest VPS available right now I will have more than enough. It is basically a simple CRUD application.
Could you share how big the VPS yo used is (cores/Ram) and what traffic you got to manage with that?
Not the parent but to me dokku shines when putting multiple apps on a single server and the fact that deploying is a git push. Letsencrypt and other plugins are icing on the cake.
If you have one app then dedicate a server to it and run it right on the operating system. Maybe have 2 and a load balancer so you can do prod deployments with no downtime. The point is get dokku, docker, and all that abstraction between the network card and your app out of the way.
