In playing around with dokku for use on my VPS I just generally got the impression that it wasn't ready to be used in production. I repeatedly ran into snags or bugs, but so many steps had been automagically taken care of by dokku that I oftentimes didn't even know where to begin to look to try to resolve them. If something like dokku is going to do these things automatically it needs to do so much more reliably, otherwise it's worse than nothing at all.

I do believe dokku (or something else like it) will be the go-to in the future, but I think that's a ways off yet.

I have to agree with you. Dokku is REALLY neat, don't get me wrong, but after working more or less perfectly for a month or so (Only with 2 projects running) I tried to add a new one and everything went to hell. My old projects started having problems and like you I had no clue where to start. I will keep an eye on Dokku along with things like Deis which I also have high hopes for.

Dokku's definitely a young project and has its teething problems. We've been using a fork of it called Dokku-alt which is getting a bit more love these days - I'd give that a shot.
