Dokku is an extensible, open-source Platform as a Service (PaaS) that runs on a single server of your choice, Docker-powered mini-Heroku, the smallest PaaS implementation you've ever seen.
The most significant advantage of Dokku is that a single server can host multiple applications. Dokku allows developers to push applications to it using Git, where it will build those applications for you, package them into a Docker container, and then manage the lifetime of that container on your behalf. It uses Docker, a Linux container system, to manage its deployments, and allows users to deploy to a remote server. It will also automatically configure the Nginx web server for your application. Developers can also have customizations in Nginx settings.
The main advantages of Dokku are:
zero-downtime deployments
At least 1 GB of system memory.
Customize the deployment with Dockerfiles
Rich command-line interface
Customizable proxy management and Nginx config
Support multiple plugins that can add much more capability to the platform, including Let's Encrypt, ElasticSearch, PostgreSQL.
