    Dokku key features

    Dokku is a Docker-powered PaaS that helps you build and manage the lifecycle of applications. Dokku supports building apps on the fly from a git push via either Dockerfile or by auto-detecting the language with Buildpacks, and then starts containers based on your built image.

    Dokku simplifies the deployment process by using Heroku-compatible applications. Developers can deploy applications using a simple git push command.
    Heroku Compatibility

    Automated Configuration

    Zero Downtime Deployments
    Dokku supports zero-downtime deployments by deploying new versions of your application alongside the existing one and then seamlessly routing traffic to the new version.
    Custom Domains and SSL
    You can easily configure custom domains for your applications and set up SSL certificates to enable HTTPS connections.
    Environment Variables
    Dokku allows you to manage environment variables for your applications, which is useful for storing sensitive information like API keys, database credentials, and configuration options.
