Link: http://is.gd/dokkudjango

Dokku: https://github.com/progrium/dokku

Deploy a Droplet on DigitalOcean

Add an SSH key to DigitalOcean before hand to make SSHing into you new box easier and more secure.

  1. Click "Create"
  2. Enter hostname, select size and region
  3. Select Ubuntu 13.04 x64 as the Image
  4. Select your SSH key
  5. Click "Create Droplet"

Setup DNS

  1. Add a blank A Record pointing to the IP Address of your new Droplet
  2. Add a wildcard (*) A Record pointing to the same domain to capture all of the subdomains.

Install Dokku

  1. SSH into your Droplet. Just ssh [email protected] should work if you add an SSH Key. If not, DigitalOcean emailed you a root password.
  2. Copy and Paste and oneline installer from the Dokku Repo README. Something like this wget -qO- https://raw.github.com/progrium/dokku/master/bootstrap.sh | sudo bash
  3. Wait 5 minutes. 🍺
