How I Save $1,463 per Month Using Claude Code as My Server Admin

It looks like you're setting up a Dokku server to migrate an application from Heroku, including the database. Here's how you can complete each step:

Step 1: Install and Configure Dokku

You've already installed Dokku on your server. Ensure that it's properly configured with SSH access.

Step 2: Set Up Postgres Plugin for Dokku

You have correctly installed the dokku-postgres plugin using:

bash
 
1dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-postgres.git postgres

Step 3: Create and Link a Database

1. Create a new Postgres database on Dokku:

   bash
    
   1dokku postgres:create my-app-db

2. Link the newly created database to your app:

   bash
    
   1dokku postgres:link my-app-db my-app

   This command will automatically set the DATABASE_URL environment variable for your app.

   bash
    
   1heroku pg:backups:capture --app my-heroku-app
