Allow me to apologize if I sound blunt, but I think you missed the point of Dokku. It is a, what, 100 lines shell script? It supports a single app, but you can run it multiple times. The same way that Heroku supports a single app per git repository. It's a kind of design decision, and not a limitation per se.

Dokku is a demonstration of what you can achieve with Docker + a very little shell script. In my humble opinion, it's very promising that you can achieve so much (something that lets you deploy applications in a Heroku-compatible way) with so little.

Also, 12-factor is totally orthogonal: you (not you specifically, but the general developer) should use 12-factor as much as possible (because most of it can be considered as "best practice", I think), then you can deploy on IAAS, PAAS, your own machines, etc.; and using 12-factor just makes the whole process easier.




I did miss the point of Dokku. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that until after I'd already burned 3 hours on it.
