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! -Sam # 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 👍 ---

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 [http://myip:5000](http://myip:5000) got a CANT BE REACHED error. 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 ? Best regards ---
