Release 1.2.0 ¶

The 1.2.0 release introduces team-based access control and many internal refactors aimed at easing future development of the product.

Dokku has traditionally been a single-tenant PaaS solution, where all users had access to all functionality on the server. While there were community plugins that tackled authentication, each implementation had it's rough edges due to interfaces in Dokku itself. Dokku Pro 1.2.0 polishes those edges while introducing a flexible permission system for organizations that need it.

Comparing Cloud Native Buildpacks to Herokuish ¶

An upcoming piece of technology in the container space is Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNB). This is an initiative led by Pivotal and Heroku and contributed to by a wide range of community members, and one that the Dokku project has been following fairly closely. CNB builds upon the buildpack "standard" initially developed at Heroku, modified at Pivotal for Cloud Foundry, and used/abused by the gliderlabs/herokuish project. This post goes over a small amount of history, compares buildpack implementations across vendors, and talks about the future of buildpacks as they relate to Dokku.

Dokku version 0.20.0 - and a few follow-on bugfixes - was released this week with quite a few major improvements, mostly to proxying and networking. We'll go over major changes below.

The Dokku Experience ¶

Dokku has historically had no way to introspect on the state of an installation. At one point in its history, we included a "backup" feature, which allowed users to export - and maybe import - configuration and data. The challenge is in exposing this information in an easily parseable manner.

Resource Management in Dokku ¶

Every so often, user's ask if it's possible to use Dokku as the basis of a system where each user in Dokku would have access to only their applications. Because of various reasons, this isn't possible out of the box, though it's certainly within the realm of possibility.

There are two requirements for such a system, one of which we'll cover here.
