What can't it do?

[naggie]

Under things it can't do according README.md:

• Multi-node. Not a huge leap, but this isn't the project for it. Maybe as Super Dokku.
• Multitenancy. It's ready for it, but again, probably for Super Dokku.

Does this mean I can't deploy more than 1 node app (or ruby) app at time time, or something else?

@frillip also.

Hi,
No it doesn't mean that - @progrium please correct me if I'm misunderstanding your intent, but I take from this:

• No multi-node = dokku itself will only run on a single host (VM/physical server), rather than a coordinated cluster of many hosts. As a result, an app deployed to dokku wouldn't be scaled beyond a single instance.
• No multitenancy = no separation between users; i.e. you're either authenticated or you're not, with no sense of app ownership. As such, you'd only use dokku in an environment where your users can trust each other

There are other PaaS platforms that do support such concepts, but they're orders of magnitude more complex - so I think it's a really good thing that dokku remains simple and focused on doing core functionality well.

You should be able to deploy multiple apps of any supported language at any time.
Hope this helps
Richard

Thanks, that clears it up.

The context of 'node' was not obvious to me.

Updating docs to avoid confusion.

This still needs to be clarified.

[progrium]

Not sure what you mean. Please be more specific in what needs to be
clarified. This has since been resolved in the docs:

The content I see on that page is almost exactly the same as in naggie's original bug report. Does multitenancy mean multiple apps or multiple users with distinct security privileges?

[progrium]

There is no real concept of users, but multiple apps, sure. I'll update that part.

Thanks! Would have made me more confident before digging in.
