Mini-Tutorial for installing huginn on dokku

A docker-powered PaaS that helps you build and manage the lifecycle of applications http://dokku.viewdocs.io/dokku/

Prerequisites

Create the app

Let's assume a dokku installation at "dokku.me". The ssh user is "root".

git clone https://github.com/cantino/huginn.git
cd huginn
ssh -t root@dokku.me dokku apps:create huginn
git remote add dokku dokku@dokku.me:huginn

Install and link Postgresql

ssh -t root@dokku.me dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-postgres.git
ssh -t root@dokku.me dokku postgres:create huginn
ssh -t root@dokku.me dokku postgres:link huginn huginn

Environment Variables

  • Replace APP_SECRET_TOKEN=your-secret-token with something secret and sane.
  • RAILS_SERVE_STATIC_FILES=true is neccessary so lazy people do not have to create their own nginx configuration.
ssh -t root@dokku.me dokku config:set huginn DATABASE_ADAPTER=postgresql
ssh -t root@dokku.me dokku config:set huginn PROCFILE_PATH=deployment/heroku/Procfile.heroku
ssh -t root@dokku.me dokku config:set huginn APP_SECRET_TOKEN=your-secret-token
ssh -t root@dokku.me dokku config:set huginn RAILS_ENV=production
ssh -t root@dokku.me dokku config:set huginn RAILS_SERVE_STATIC_FILES=true

Deploy the app and migrate the database

  • After deployment huginn needs some time to "boot". Give it 30 seconds after deployment finishes before filing a complaint.
git push dokku master
ssh -t root@dokku.me dokku run huginn bundle exec rake db:migrate
ssh -t root@dokku.me dokku run huginn bundle exec rake db:seed
ssh -t root@dokku.me dokku ps:restart huginn
