We will no longer support CentOS, Fedora, and Opensuse as installation targets. These are not actively maintained by anyone with commit rights and occasionally cause issues for users as they are not tested during the release process. Rather than have subpar support for an untested operating system, we're removing support for them completely. Users of these operating systems should take a look migration to the docker-based installation method, which will always be tested and supported by the project. Additionally, drop support for Debian 9 as it is now EOL.
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 18.04 / 20.04 / 22.04 x64 - Any currently supported release
- Debian 10+ x64
- Arch Linux x64 (experimental)
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 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dokku/dokku/v0.27.10/bootstrap.sh
sudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.27.10 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.
