One alternative to this alternative is to use a webui for dokku itself. Such as https://github.com/ledokku/ledokku

What Hacker News says
2 sourcesOne approach that has worked for me so far is:
1) find out if the runtime/framework is supported but Heroku or if there are any buildpacks available.
2) spin up a Dokku instance using Vagrant for local development and testing
3) deploy to a live Dokku server
If/when I encounter any issues I add Heroku or Dokku to my search query and 9 times out of 10 I’ll find an answer to my issue. Else I just dig into the Dokku docs and GitHub issues and figure it out.
So for instance googling for deploying a Phoenix app with Dokku results in a few hits such as this one [0].
There's also a lovely UI for Dokku being actively developed: Ledokku [1]
The only drawback currently is when you want to horizontally scale your deployment. You can use their kubernetes or nomad schedulers but I think those are an overkill in terms of complexity. You could also use

a load balancer in front of multiple Dokku instances but you then lose the ease of deployment, configuration, etc…
Which is why I think their docker swarm scheduler [2] will be one of the most important feature they could add. It’s currently on the roadmap but I’m sure with a bit of sponsorship and a few pull/merge requests it will become a reality.
