How to setup Dokku

Let's jump into it... fast. You got here because you want to setup Dokku and the other ways don't work... let's goooo

I will setup for Dokku only

Point your domain to the VPS of choice
- Spin up new VPS server here:
  - Digital Ocean
  - Linode
- Buy a domain from Namecheap/Godaddy for 0.99\$ for first-time accounts
- Create an A record to point to your VPS Ip
```
- Type -> A
- Name -> *.your-domain-name.com
- Value -> <your.vps.ip>
```
- Just a note pick a VPS server with 1GB RAM memory that will probably cost you \$5
SSH into your server through IP and pass or SSH key if you provided one.
- ```
  ssh username@ip-address
```

Change the server hostname

hostnamectl set-hostname <your-domain.com>

echo "<your.vps.ip> <your-domain.com> dokku" >> /etc/hosts

So we gonna use a script to get this thing installed, we will head over to Package cloud to get the script.
- The script was created Dokku and they one for each Linux os
Let's run that script on our Ubuntu server
```
curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/dokku/dokku/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
```
- Select Yes when this window pops up
- Check if dokku is installed by typing id dokku
- Start the Dokku service
```
 sytemctl status dokku-installer.service
```
- Confirm the service is running by typing systemctl is-enabled dokku-installer.service the result is enabled if it's running
- Let's install core dependencies
```
 dokku plugin:install-dependencies --core
```

Install docker

wget -nv -O - https://get.docker.com/ | sh

Check if Docker is installed by running

docker version
