Hello!

I’m using dokku and wanted to install discourse into a dokku managed container. I found [this gist](https://gist.github.com/julienma/a101a72fdd97932bf28909633f45c7be) describing the process, but discovered a few issues with the approach (mainly around the many manual steps, the user permissions and lack of support for multiple instances.)

So I created a dokku plugin to solve these issues: [GitHub - badsyntax/dokku-discourse: Dokku plugin to manage discourse on your dokku server · GitHub](https://github.com/badsyntax/dokku-discourse).

This plugin allows you to manage multiple discourse instances on your dokku server. Hope you find it useful.
