Deploy

Deploy your code to Wokku using git push, GitHub, or Docker images.

Git Push

Push code directly to your Dokku server.

Web UI

Copy the git remote URL from your app’s overview page, then push from your terminal:

git remote add dokku dokku@your-server:my-app
git push dokku main

Watch the deploy progress in real-time from the Deploys tab.

CLI

wokku apps:info my-app
git remote add dokku dokku@your-server:my-app
git push dokku main

API

curl -X POST https://wokku.cloud/api/v1/apps \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -d '{"name": "my-app", "server_id": 1}'

Then deploy with git push.

MCP

Ask Claude: “What’s the git URL for my-app?”

Then push with git from your terminal.

Mobile

View deploy status and logs from the app detail screen. Deploys are triggered via git push.

Buildpack Detection

Dokku automatically detects your app’s language:

Language	Detection
Node.js	package.json in root
Python	requirements.txt or Pipfile
Ruby	Gemfile in root
Go	go.mod in root
PHP	composer.json in root
Java	pom.xml or build.gradle
Static	index.html in root

You can also use a Dockerfile for full control over the build.

Zero-Downtime Deploys

Dokku performs zero-downtime deploys by default. The new container starts, health checks pass, then traffic switches over.

See Health Checks to configure deploy checks.
