Mini Tutorial for installing huginn on dokku

Mini-Tutorial for installing huginn on dokku

A docker-powered PaaS that helps you build and manage the lifecycle of applications http://dokku.viewdocs.io/dokku/

Prerequisites

• dokku version >= v0.4.9
• http://dokku.viewdocs.io/dokku/installation/

Create the app

Let's assume a dokku installation at "dokku.me". The ssh user is "root".

git clone https://github.com/cantino/huginn.git
cd huginn
ssh -t [email protected] dokku apps:create huginn
git remote add dokku [email protected]:huginn

Install and link Postgresql

ssh -t [email protected] dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-postgres.git
ssh -t [email protected] dokku postgres:create huginn
ssh -t [email protected] dokku postgres:link huginn huginn

Environment Variables

• Replace APP_SECRET_TOKEN=your-secret-token with something secret and sane.
• RAILS_SERVE_STATIC_FILES=true is neccessary so lazy people do not have to create their own nginx configuration.

ssh -t [email protected] dokku config:set huginn DATABASE_ADAPTER=postgresql
ssh -t [email protected] dokku config:set huginn PROCFILE_PATH=deployment/heroku/Procfile.heroku
ssh -t [email protected] dokku config:set huginn APP_SECRET_TOKEN=your-secret-token
ssh -t [email protected] dokku config:set huginn RAILS_ENV=production
ssh -t [email protected] dokku config:set huginn RAILS_SERVE_STATIC_FILES=true

Deploy the app and migrate the database

• After deployment huginn needs some time to "boot". Give it 30 seconds after deployment finishes before filing a complaint.

git push dokku master
ssh -t [email protected] dokku run huginn bundle exec rake db:migrate
ssh -t [email protected] dokku run huginn bundle exec rake db:seed
ssh -t [email protected] dokku ps:restart huginn
