  It really depends how you set it up, though-- for example, Digital Ocean provides their own image (http://www.andrewmunsell.com/blog/dokku-tutorial-digital-ocean http://www.andrewmunsell.com/blog/dokku-tutorial-digital-oce...) that provides a one-click deployment of Dokku, including all of the SSH key setup and stuff. Minimally, this makes it easier to start up a new Dokku instance on a new version and push your apps to the new instance before you destroy the old one. In my experience, Dokku has been fairly easy to use (minus a weird Nginx related issue I had that was a side effect of the length of my app names). Docker (as well as Dokku) still aren't 1.0 or deemed production ready by their respective authors, so you still should always investigate both products before using them. But it is really cool to see products like Dokku and Flynn being created and maintained, since it makes deploying apps so much easier.
