 Deployment

+It is possible to deploy to Heroku or to your own server by using Dokku, an open source Heroku clone.

+Dokku
+^^^^^
+
+You need to make sure you have a server running Dokku with at least 1GB of RAM. Backing services are
+added just like in Heroku however you must ensure you have the relevant Dokku plugins installed. 
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    cd /var/lib/dokku/plugins
+    git clone https://github.com/rlaneve/dokku-link.git link
+    git clone https://github.com/jezdez/dokku-memcached-plugin memcached
+    git clone https://github.com/jezdez/dokku-postgres-plugin postgres
+    dokku plugins-install
+
+You can specify the buildpack you wish to use by creating a file name .env containing the following.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    export BUILDPACK_URL=<repository>
+
+You can then deploy by running the following commands.
+
+..  code-block:: bash
+
+    git remote add dokku dokku@yourservername.com:{{cookiecutter.repo_name}}
+    git push dokku master
+    ssh -t dokku@yourservername.com dokku memcached:create {{cookiecutter.repo_name}}-memcached

+When deploying via Dokku make sure you backup your database in some fashion as it is NOT done automatically.
