Answer 1

You can use the dokku-monorepo plugin. It’s used for monorepo setups.

Step 1- Install the plugin

      dokku plugin:install https://github.com/iamale/dokku-monorepo

step 2- $ ls

        .dokku-monorepo

         myapp1

         myapp2

                The file .dokku-monorepo contains paths for applications to be deployed

Step 3- first=myapp1

        second=myapp2/backend

          The part before = is used to identify the dokku application.

Step 4- $ git remote -v

         first             dokku@dokku.me:example-first

         first-staging     dokku@dokku.me:example-first-staging

         second            dokku@dokku.me:example-second

The example-first and example-staging-first applications would be deployed from the myapp1 folder.

When you push the code to an application's remote, the folder gets detected for you:

$ git push first
