“App <name> has not been deployed”

[bfontaine]

Hello, following your README I create a container but I get “App esdb has not been deployed” (esdb is the name of the created container).

$ ssh dokku@<host> elasticsearch:create esdb
Warning: '-name' is deprecated, it will be replaced by '--name' soon. See usage.

Connection to <host> closed.

Tried to get the logs:

$ dokku logs esdb
Application's container not found

Update: ~dokku/esdb exists, but it doesn’t have a CONTAINER file.

Did you ever figure this out?

IIRC, I ran the command by hand (with the correct parameters) and it solved the problem.

This happens when you git push before creating the app with dokku apps:create <name>.

I don't know why.
The only solution I found was to destroy the app, then create it, then push.

When I encountered this message, I ran dokku ps:scale [appname] [procname]=1 (replace 1 for the amount of processes you want) to get the container up and running.
