The Git history and tree is bloated and makes any automation unusable (takes forever to check out):

Appears that Dokku does not support LFS and does not plan to https://github.com/dokku/dokku/issues/2401 Doesn't appear anyone else has done it either with a little bit of Googling

I don't think this is viable unless we either

do not host the website on Dokku
store images separately and serve from a CDN

That's too bad.
