Hey! Great to see you here.

I tried dokku (and still am!) and it is so hard getting started.

For reference, - I've used Coolify successfully where it required me to create a Github app to deploy my apps on pushes to master - I've written GH actions to build and deploy containers to big cloud

This page is what I get if I want to achieve the same, and it's completely a reference book approach - I feel like I'm reading an encyclopedia. https://dokku.com/docs/deployment/methods/git/#initializing-...

Contrast it with this, which is INSTANTLY useful and helps me deploy apps hot off the page: https://coolify.io/docs/knowledge-base/git/github/integratio...

What I would love to see for Dokku is tutorials for popular OSS apps and set-objective/get-it-done style getting started articles. I'd LOVE an article that takes me from baremetal to a reverse proxy+a few popular apps. Because the value isn't in using Dokku, it's in using Dokku to get to that state.

I'm trying to use dokku for my homeserver.

Ideally I want a painless, quick way to go from "hey here's a repo I like" to "deployed on my machine" with Dokku. And then once that works, peek under the hood.
