Updating this plugin

Dokku doesn't handle plugin update. I made a pull request to dokku for that (dokku/dokku#669)

So, each time you update this plugin with git pull, you need to call:

$ dokku psql:migrate

Info

This plugin adds following environment variables to your app automatically:

DATABASE_URL
DB_HOST
DB_PORT
DB_NAME
DB_USER
DB_PASS

Usage

Start PostgreSQL:

$ dokku psql:start                 # Server side
..or..
$ ssh dokku@server psql:start      # Client side

Stop PostgreSQL:

$ dokku psql:stop                  # Server side
..or..
$ ssh dokku@server psql:stop       # Client side

Restart PostgreSQL:

$ dokku psql:restart               # Server side
..or..
$ ssh dokku@server psql:restart    # Client side

Create a new database:

$ dokku psql:create foo            # Server side
..or..
$ ssh dokku@server psql:create foo # Client side

Dump database to SQL:

$ dokku psql:dump_sql foo filename.sql # Server side

Restore database from SQL:

$ dokku psql:restore_sql foo filename.sql # Server side

Dump database to tar:

$ dokku psql:dump_tar foo filename.tar # Server side

Restore database from tar:

$ dokku psql:restore_tar foo filename.tar # Server side

Copy database foo to database bar using pipe:

$ dokku psql:dump foo | dokku psql:restore bar # Server side

Link

You can link a database to an application :

Create database:

$ dokku psql:create foo

Push another_app to dokku and link it to foo with:

$ dokku psql:link foo another_app

Environment variables for database foo will be available in another_app

Unlink

$ dokku psql:unlink another_app # Server side
