Possible to deploy to Dokku?

Hi 👋

i just discovered MLEM and was intrigued by the deploy options.
In the tutorial it is mentioned that one can deploy to Heroku. Since dokku also uses heroku buildpacks I was wondering if dokku could be a deploy target, too?

Cheers

We dont use buildpacks with Heroku since we build custom docker images for each model and deploy them to heroku. Dokku docs mention they can work with images too here, but the link is broken I think. Do you know if they dokku really supports this?

Also, we can try and use it with our docker dir packager and deploy from dockerfile in dokku, but I need to dig deeper into dokku API to say for sure

Great to hear.

I only ever used the Procfile (heroku build pack) route with dokku, but it seems one can also simply push a Dockerfile...

Would be a great feature if available since I find dokku a nice cheap on-prem solution for smaller deploys.

Thanks for looking into it
