Hakopod
& Dokku.
For developers who like a Git-push workflow, a command-line interface, and a plugin model.
Is the command line the center of your workflow?
Look at deployment commands, configuration management, process scaling, and the scheduler plugins you need. Dokku also documents K3s and Nomad options.
01 Workload runtime
Hakopod
K3s runs the workloads. A Go API and reconciler keep accepted operations and history in PostgreSQL.
Dokku
Docker Local is the default scheduler. Its plugin model also documents K3s and Nomad schedulers.
02 Source to deployment
Hakopod
Deploy an image or sync a TOML path from GitHub or GitLab. Dockerfile and buildpack builds run through configured provider CI.
Dokku
Git push is a core workflow. Builder selection includes Dockerfiles, Herokuish and Cloud Native Buildpacks.
03 Describing related services
Hakopod
One application TOML describes services, resource profiles, network membership, mounts and secret references. Review changes before deployment.
Dokku
Process types such as web and worker belong to an app and scale through ps:scale. Configuration and networking have separate commands.
04 Configuration and credentials
Hakopod
Plain variables live per service. Secret values are stored separately and bound by scoped references in reviewed TOML.
Dokku
Use config:set for application environment variables; configuration updates normally restart the application unless restart is suppressed.
05 Private connections
Hakopod
Application-local networks and project/environment-scoped virtual segments connect selected services. Explicit peer rules restrict declared destination ports.
Dokku
The network plugin creates attachable Docker networks, attaches applications and configures network aliases.
