Dokku API (Abandoned)

This project is not maintained and considered abandoned. Please consider using Dokku Pro instead.

HTTP API to interact with Dokku Daemon over HTTP.

Requirements

A server running Dokku with Dokku Daemon and Redis, Postgres plugin installed.

How it works?

This is a simple Sinatra app which intereacts with Dokku Daemon's Unix socket. It received the commands and passes it to daemon and saves the result. /var/run/dokku-daemon folder should be mounted into the application so app can access to the socket.

Installing

You need to create an app for the API on the server;

dokku apps:create dokku-api
dokku redis:create dokku-api
dokku postgres:create dokku-api
dokku redis:link dokku-api dokku-api
dokku postgres:link dokku-api dokku-api
dokku storage:mount dokku-api /var/run/dokku-daemon:/var/run/dokku-daemon
dokku ps:scale dokku-api worker=1 

Then you can deploy your app;

git clone https://github.com/dokku/dokku-api
cd dokku-api
git remote add dokku dokku@yourserver.ip:dokku-api
git push dokku

Authentication

Dokku API uses Api-Key and Api-Secret request headers for authentication. Api-Key and Api-Secret headers must be present on all requests.

You can generate a key pair with rake keys:generate command.

dokku run dokku-api rake keys:generate
>   New API key was generated
>   API KEY: b33e456232bba2edb8d5cde370bc2f35 | API SECRET: a46287c12099fdd55f0c9513be0cdb32

Headers

Api-Key	string	Required
