Dokku

Dokku is a PaaS; commands run on the Dokku host (SSH or local). Prefer running long operations (deploys, builds) in the background — use exec with background: true or short yieldMs when the tool allows.

Quick reference

• - Create app: INLINECODE2
• Deploy (git): Add remote dokku@<host>:<app-name>, then INLINECODE4
• Deploy (image): INLINECODE5
• Run in background (Dokku): dokku run:detached <app> <cmd> or INLINECODE7
• Agent-side background: For long deploys/installs, run the shell command via exec with background: true or short yieldMs; poll or check logs as needed.
