Today, I did a fresh deployment of Staytus with Dokku, an open-source small PaaS implementation.
I faced some difficulties, here a small documentation on how to built it on Dokku.
1. I installed Dokku on a fresh server with PostgreSQL and Let's Encrypt plugins for SSL support.
2. I switched the application to PostgreSQL :
I did configuration for a new config/database.yml file
I removed config/database.yml from .gitignore
I removed the mysql gem from Gemfile
I added the pg gem to Gemfile
I changed the db/schema.rb file by removing the options on all tables, as these options are for MySQL only
3. I removed the Dockerfile from the repository.
4. I created the Dokku application, database and linked them.
5. I configured these environments variables for the application on the Dokku server :
FORCE_SSL
SECRET_KEY_BASE
STAYTUS_DEMO
STAYTUS_SMTP_HOSTNAME
STAYTUS_SMTP_PASSWORD
STAYTUS_SMTP_USERNAME
STAYTUS_THEME
6. I configured the application domain and Let's Encrypt SSL certificate with Dokku.
7. I updated the BCrypt gem to to be able to create the first admin user.
8. I pushed to my Dokku server.
9. I ran the install commands inside my container.
bundle exec rake staytus:build staytus:install
10. I enjoyed!
