scheduler:report [<app>] [<flag>] # Displays a scheduler report for one or more apps
scheduler:set <app> <key> (<value>) # Set or clear a scheduler property for an app
Schedulers are a way of customizing how an app image is deployed, and can be used to interact with non-local systems such as Kubernetes and Nomad.
Dokku supports the following built-in schedulers:
scheduler-docker-local
: Schedules apps against the local docker socket and runs containers directly on the Dokku host. See the docker-local scheduler documentation for more information on how this scheduler functions.scheduler-null
: Does nothing during the scheduler phase. See the null scheduler documentation for more information on how this scheduler functions.See the alternate schedulers documentation for more information on other scheduler plugins.
If desired, the scheduler can be specified via the scheduler:set
command by speifying a value for selected
. The selected scheduler will always be used.
dokku scheduler:set node-js-app selected docker-local
The default value may be set by passing an empty value for the option:
dokku scheduler:set node-js-app selected
The selected
property can also be set globally. The global default is an empty string, and auto-detection will be performed when no value is set per-app or globally.
dokku scheduler:set --global selected docker-local
The default value may be set by passing an empty value for the option.
dokku scheduler:set --global selected
You can get a report about the app's scheduler status using the scheduler:report
command:
dokku scheduler:report
=====> node-js-app scheduler information
Scheduler computed selected: herokuish
Scheduler global selected: herokuish
Scheduler selected: herokuish
=====> python-sample scheduler information
Scheduler computed selected: dockerfile
Scheduler global selected: herokuish
Scheduler selected: dockerfile
=====> ruby-sample scheduler information
Scheduler computed selected: herokuish
Scheduler global selected: herokuish
Scheduler selected:
You can run the command for a specific app also.
dokku scheduler:report node-js-app
=====> node-js-app scheduler information
Scheduler selected: herokuish
You can pass flags which will output only the value of the specific information you want. For example:
dokku scheduler:report node-js-app --scheduler-selected
Custom plugins names must have the prefix scheduler-
or scheduler overriding via scheduler:set
may not function as expected.
At this time, the following dokku commands are used to implement a complete scheduler.
apps:destroy
: stops the app processes on the scheduler
apps:rename
: handles app renaming
apps:clone
: handles app cloning
deploy
: deploys app proceses and checks the status of a deploy
enter
: enters a running container
logs
: fetches app logs
run
: starts one-off run containers (detached and non-detached) as well as listing run processes
ps:stop
: stops app processes
ps:inspect
: outputs inspect output for processes in an app
Schedulers may decide to omit some functionality here, or use plugin triggers to supplement config with information from other plugins. Additionally, a scheduler may implement other triggers in order handle any extra processes needed during a deploy.
Schedulers can use any tools available on the system to build the docker image, and may even be used to interact with off-server systems. The only current requirement is that the scheduler must have access to the image built in the build phase. If this is not the case, the registry plugin can be used to push the image to a registry that the scheduler software can access.
Deployment tasks are currently executed directly on the primary Dokku server.
