Test Out a Sample App

Follow the instructions of the deploy tutorial or:

Guest (Dokku) Machine

$ dokku apps:create ruby-rails-sample
$ sudo dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-postgres.git
$ dokku postgres:create rails-database
$ dokku postgres:link rails-database ruby-rails-sample

Host Machine

/etc/hosts doesn't support wildcards so add 192.168.33.10 ruby-rails-sample.microservices.local to your /etc/hosts. In production, we would point *.microservices.com, or similar, to our server.

$ cd ruby-rails-sample
$ git remote add dokku dokku@microservices.local:ruby-rails-sample
$ git push dokku master

Navigate to http://ruby-rails-sample.microservices.local
