Kubernetes pulls the app image itself, so a k3s host is free to reap its local copy while the workload keeps running, which the `registry` plugin already does on its own. Deploys, restarts, `dokku run`, and in-cluster cron no longer assert that the image is present locally, falling back to the metadata recorded in the app's current Helm release. A `ps:restart` naming a single process type now rolls only that process type's pods rather than silently redeploying every one. Apps with an `app.json` postdeploy task still require the image locally, as that task runs on the Dokku host.
Dokku
Docker powered mini-Heroku. The smallest PaaS implementation you've ever seen.

Requirements
A fresh VM running any of the following operating systems:
- Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 (amd64/arm64) - Any currently supported release
- Debian 11+ (amd64/arm64)
An SSH keypair that can be used for application deployment. If this exists before installation, it will be automatically imported into dokku.
Otherwise, you will need to import the keypair manually after installation using dokku ssh-keys:add.
Installation
To install the latest stable release, run the following commands as a user who has access to sudo:
wget -NP . https://dokku.com/install/v0.38.26/bootstrap.sh
sudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.38.26 bash bootstrap.sh
You can then proceed to configure your server domain (via dokku domains:set-global) and user access (via dokku ssh-keys:add) to complete the installation.
If you wish for a more unattended installation method, see these docs.
