Comment on How to Setup Your Own PaaS with Dokku and Node and React and Mongodb and Nginx

Comments

I looked at the Dokku website and despite even looking at the docs, I still have no clue what it actually does. I see that a lot with SaaS software or fancy OSS projects. Maybe it's just my German attitude, but I don't want to know how astounding and wonderful your product is, but what it does and how it works!

You don't need to look farther than the homepage to get an idea of what Dokku does:

Once it's set up on a host, you can push Heroku-compatible applications to it via Git. They'll build using Heroku buildpacks and then run in isolated containers.

This is on the homepage, right near the top:

Dokku helps you build and manage the lifecycle of applications

Is there a way we can make what we do more clear?
