If there is some functionality missing from Dokku, outside of contributing the functionality, you may also consider sponsoring the work.
The following are examples of sponsored features added to Dokku:
- Bespoke application deployment for self-hosted software. Recent examples include:
- Metabase: Business intelligence and analytics for your company.
- The Lounge: Self-hosted web IRC client.
- Zammad: Open source user support/ticketing solution.
- Buildpack management via plugin.
- Backup support for datastore plugins.
- Kubernetes integration for application deploys.
- Complete HA integration with your cloud vendor of choice (AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, GCP...).
- Debugging Dokku features and functionality for use in specific cloud environments (with upstream changes as necessary).
- Traefik proxy support
- OpenResty with auto-ssl support
- Kubernetes K3S integration
If you or your organization could benefit from sponsored Dokku development - or debugging complex issues related to using Dokku - the following are some bulletpoints that you might find useful:
- Functionality is scoped out prior to any development so that both parties understand what is being delivered.
- Typical engagements are less than 10 hours, with most lasting only 2.
- All new features and bugfixes that can be are open-sourced to ease future development of the platform.
- If the development requires integrating with something in-house, we'll develop interfaces between Dokku and your systems to ensure the integration won't break in the future.
- The hourly rate begin at $200 USD per hour, paid before delivery of services. Longer engagements can be negotiated.
- Payment can be done through a variety of methods, and billing can be sent if needed for your finance department.
