This looks to me like something that has 5% of the features of dokku. If you want a slimmed down dokku that seems great. But I'm wondering if I love dokku why I would choose this. What am I missing? The switching to live containers and proxy integration seems like table stakes these days. Is traefik that much better than nginx in all cases? And, dokku just works with almost any kind of web app (regardless of the language) i throw at it. It's amazing for just git cloning something, create a dokku app and new git remote and then just push and see if it works, which it does almost all the time. It's super fun to experiment with something new and just see what happens.

MRSK is a bit more focused on deployment and server management: it only needs SSH access to configure a server and deploy your application. Dokku still requires managing/installing servers manually.

  So it’s trying to both tackle provisioning and deployment at the same time? Why not just use more powerful tools for each role - e.g., provision with Ansible and deploy with Dokku?

  Dokku Maintainer here. Is the issue that you only need to `gem install mrsk` locally vs running our bootstrap script to install Dokku on a remote server? I'm not sure what the difference is maintenance-wise between Dokku and MRSK, as at the end of the day you still have a server you need to maintain/upgrade for both products.

used dokku too but faced a couple of issues over time including very slow deploys for some reason. also fubdamentally dokku is single server whereas MRSK is multi-server. not that I need that but worth pointing out as a difference

  Dokku Maintainer here. I'd love to hear more about the issues you've faced, even if you're not using Dokku anymore. It helps me improve the project for others. Regarding multi-server support, we support Kubernetes and Nomad for job scheduling - and have for years - which I think should make us multi-server capable. Are you looking for something else?
