I am running a Dokku app in production and need to know what version of the app is running on the server.
Is this possible with Dokku?
There's no need for a plugin.
All apps in dokku are git bare repositories. Just connect to your server, switch to the app directory (mine are in /home/dokku/<app-name>) and run a git log. That should do the trick as well.
To get the current git commit hash for a dokku app just run
dokku config:get <myapp> GIT_REV
Yes, you can add the SHA1 of the latest git commit using this plugin: https://github.com/dokku-alt/dokku-alt/tree/master/plugins/dokku-git-rev
There are many other alternatives based on different scenarios and different environments. If you are deploying Node.JS apps and using package.json properly, you can easily parse out the version using the fs standard lib; JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('package.json')).version
You can also do dokku config:show myapp | grep GIT_REV to get it from the app's environment variables. The above command assumes your app name is myapp.
The fastest way to do this is to issue this command:
dokku config:get GIT_REV
This queries the server for the git revision that was most recently deployed. During deployment the GIT hash is set as an envirnoment variable, that's why it's possible to get with config:get.
You can also just bash into your doku app and echo $GIT_REV

I am trying to get my localhost working on my remote (mediatemple) server.
I have bundled it up and have a /myurl.com/bundle folder with the following files.
this folder contains
main.js
npm-debug.log
programs
server
How do I get this to run?
You should take a look in the README inside the bundle folder. Normally everything ist described there to start your app.
Make sure that NODEJS and MONGO is installed on your remote server. This is NOT included in your bundle as well as NODEJS is not present.
If you are running a system like debian or ubuntu normally you can do the installation with
apt-get install nodejs mongo
Make sure, that the nodejs has release v0.10.36 or v0.10.38
node --version
At the README you see the necessary ENV-VARS like MONGO_URL and PORT you need to set to start your meteor app.
If you have running a apache server already the PORT 80 is already blocked, so try PORT=3000 to start your meteor app.
Example:
MONGO_URL='mongodb://localhost:27017/yourapp' ROOT_URL="http://yourhost" PORT=3000 node main.js
If using as above you do not need to export the ENV-VARS before start
Sometime when starting, there are missing NPM – you get fiber errors
In that case
cd programs/server
npm install
and the try start again.
Good luck

(I'm writing this response assuming that you are not worried about scalability issue, respond in comment if you want to scale your app)
The best option for running a node application, which Meteor application is, is by using forever.
npm install forever
forever start simple-server.js
If you want to figure out how to see the log files and how to stop/restart your service, you can run forever --help to see all the commands.
I created a subdomain on meteor.com to try it out, but now I'm moving on to a new domain so want to remove the existing subdomain on Meteor. I didn't set any password to the subdomain. I'm really confused on how to remove it from meteor.com. I also deleted the local repository that I had from my machine. Please help.
You can do it through the command line like you did to deploy on meteor.com.
To delete a meteor.com deployment, just run the same command with the --delete flag:
# navigate to your Meteor project
cd /...
meteor deploy --delete
According to the command documentation:
The --delete flag permanently removes a deployed application, including
all of its stored data.
You can always get more information about a command by running meteor help followed by the command name:
meteor help deploy
Just wanted to make an addition to it for those following this thread.
meteor deploy <example.meteor.com> --delete (This is the proper command. Replace example with your subdomain)
You might want to login to your local repo before initialising the --delete command
meteor login --email 'email-id-used-to-login-at-meteor.com'
You'll be prompted to input email-id and password. Then you're logged in!
Hope this helps.
I'm learning dokku right now for simple web deployment. Offical install instructions state this command:
wget -qO- https://raw.github.com/progrium/dokku/v0.3.12/bootstrap.sh | sudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.3.12 bash
I'm not a devop or admin, but as far as I understand this line, it performs all bootstrapping and installation under the root account, thanks to sudo. So dokku will be checked out into a directory with root access rights, and all additional directories like /var/lib/dokku/ will also have root access rights.
The problem is - all articles across the internet about dokku instructs to execute dokku command or do dokku-related actions without sudo. For example, instructions about this dokku database plugin, https://github.com/krisrang/dokku-mariadb, instructs to install it via:
cd /var/lib/dokku/plugins
git clone https://github.com/krisrang/dokku-mariadb mariadb
dokku plugins-install
This is not working, since /var/lib/dokku/plugins have root access rights and git clone will fail with acces denied. It's hard to be a non-admin nowadays, but maybe someone will hint what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to install dokku some other way, or all dokku-related tutorials across internet assume that I'm executing them under root (which is, by my limited admin knowledge, highly not recommended for security reasons).
You should run those three commands as sudo:
sudo su -
The dokku binary will run code as the dokku user even if you execute as root. So it should be fine to run that as is. Once you are the sudo user, just run the install instructions listed in your question. Hope my answer helps ! :)
I also contacted them as they mentioned:
In the future, we'll have a method to install plugins directly with a
dokku command
As far as I can tell, you need to run it as root. A traditional way to install a program without root-privileges is to download the source and compile it, which can be done by running:
git clone https://github.com/progrium/dokku.git
make
make install
Dokku's makefile depends on apt-get, which requires root access to run.
I'm not familiar with dokku or dokku-mariadb, but I think the author of dokku-mariadb also assumes root access.
For people running into the question on wether its fine to install through root user (on fresh created VMs as per the guide), try checking this Github issue:
https://github.com/dokku/dokku/issues/961
Since the commands related to dokku are prefixed with # rather than $, it means that its not necessary to run them from non-root user. It also makes writing suddo unnecessary (and form my experience counterproductive).
How to deploy a app with password in meteor using linux. It's deploy good when with out set password.But i need to deploy app with password in meteor. I did but gets some error messages i didn't understand the following messages.So please see the below deployment process and suggestions me what to do?
[root#localhost myapp]# meteor deploy myapp.meteor.com --password
deploy: the --password option needs a value.
Try 'meteor help deploy' for help.
[root#localhost myapp]# meteor deploy myapp.meteor.com 123456
deploy: too many arguments.
Usage: meteor deploy <site> [--settings settings.json] [--debug] [--delete]
Deploys the project in your current directory to Meteor's servers.
You can deploy to any available name under 'meteor.com'
without any additional configuration, for example,
'myapp.meteor.com'. If you deploy to a custom domain, such as
'myapp.mydomain.com', then you'll also need to configure your domain's
DNS records. See the Meteor docs for details.
The --settings flag can be used to pass deploy-specific information to
the application. It will be available at runtime in Meteor.settings, but only
on the server. If the object contains a key named 'public', then
Meteor.settings.public will also be available on the client. The argument
is the name of a file containing the JSON data to use. The settings will
persist across deployments until you again specify a settings file. To
unset Meteor.settings, pass an empty settings file.
The --delete flag permanently removes a deployed application, including
all of its stored data.
Options:
--delete, -D permanently delete this deployment
--debug deploy in debug mode (don't minify, etc)
--settings set optional data for Meteor.settings
--star a star (tarball) to deploy instead of the current Meteor app
[root#localhost myapp]#
Perhaps you should use both command and option:
meteor deploy myapp.meteor.com --password 123456
