Dokku Plugins

Various Dokku plugins used to develop and manage software at Code for Africa.

Available Plugins

pr-db-mongo

Prerequisites

• Dokku
• Python
• Mongo Database Tools.

  To install mongo database tools,

    wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add -
    echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu focal/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Installation

The .tgz installation via dokku plugin:install file:// or https:// seem to fail. We shall therefore use the manual installation until a fix is found.

Copy the plugin(s) to dev

Copy the .tgz from the local/CI instance to the dev machine (running Dokku)

scp plugin.tgz user@remotehost:/path-to-copy-file

For example, if our plugin is called pr-db-mongo, then:

scp build/pr-db-mongo.tgz [email protected]:/~

Make the plugin available to Dokku

ssh to the dev machine

ssh [email protected]:

Extract and copy plugin into $PLUGIN_AVAILABLE_PATH

tar -xf pr-db-mongo.tgz
chown dokku:dokku -R pr-db-mongo
mv pr-db-mongo /var/lib/dokku/plugins/available

Enable the plugin

sudo dokku plugin:enable plugin-name

Install Plugin

sudo dokku plugin:install

Install Dependencies

sudo dokku plugin:install-dependencies

That's it. Happy coding!
