Excellent article, thanks for the time you put into this Steve!

For each new application I push to my server, I invoke dokku apps:create NEW-APP-NAME. Using this process, I was unable to follow the steps for pushing the vue-demo app verbatim. In the snippet below, I used NEW-APP-NAME in place of MISSING_PARAM. My guess is that other readers might need to use dokku in the MISSING_PARAM slot.

Thanks!

Commit the change

git add . && git commit -m “Added a Dockerfile”

Add in our remote Dokku repository

git remote add MISSING_PARAM? dokku@:[IPADDRESS]:vue-demo

Push the changes

git push dokku master

Hey @idusortus, I’m glad you enjoyed the article!

Thanks for letting us know about the error in the code snippet - I’ve corrected that now so the change should be live on the article shortly :+1:

Hey guys,
I have tried this steps but even the FIRST PART of just Hello world NODE app did not work…

I followed the hints about PORTS but

Also I did not see any START APP in Dokku step … and tried to do that but the SERVER.JS is not at app folder .

What I am missing ?
