This procedure has been tested on Vultr, and Digital Ocean. In theory it should work on any VPS as long as the linux instance is Ubuntu. There might be some subtle differences for other linux variants.
- Create a new compute instance on Vultr using an 64-bit ubuntu image
- From the available compute instance sizes, pick at a minimum a server with 1024Mb of memory. Compute instances with smaller sizes will fail on deploy
- ssh on to the server root@ipaddress
- If this is your first deploy onto Vultr ensure you've created a ssh key pair firstly. Then add your public key during the compute instance creation procedure
- Now wait for Vultr to provision an instance of your new image
- Install Dokku 0.6.5
