## This project is deprecated

When this plugin was written, Dokku restarted app servers by first stopping the old build, then starting the new build. However, Dokku has since changed the way it restarts app servers to start the new build *before* stopping the old build: if the app's port is bound, this causes a conflict between the old instance and the new one (as the old instance doesn't relinquish the port until it is stopped), and **new builds will fail to start**. (See [issue #5][].)

[issue #5]: https://github.com/stuartpb/dokku-bind-port/issues/5

Besides that major issue with port binding, this plugin's functionality can entirely be duplicated by setting `-p` options for `docker run` using the [dokku-docker-options][] plugin, which is also significantly more simple and versatile (allowing one to achieve other goals, such as mounting a volume in an app).

[dokku-docker-options]: https://github.com/dyson/dokku-docker-options

Ultimately, since mid/late 2014, I've personally stopped using Dokku altogether, switching to [Plushu][] instead. If you want this plugin's functionality in Plushu, you can use the [plushu-app-docker-opts][] plugin to add a `-p 5000:80` option to the app. You will also need to create a file named `SINGLE_INSTANCE` in the app's directory (using a direct shell account to the Plushu server):

```bash
ssh [email protected] su -s /bin/sh -c "touch /home/plushu/apps/$app/SINGLE_INSTANCE" plushu
```

This tells the Plushu local app deployment plugin to stop the old build before starting the new one, avoiding the aforementioned issue with concurrent builds seen with Dokku.

# dokku-bind-port

Dokku plugin for binding app container ports to host interfaces

The code for this plugin is largely based on the
[dokku-link](https://github.com/rlaneve/dokku-link) plugin, but for `-p`
arguments rather than `-link`, and with the redeployment behavior from
`dokku config`.

## Requirements

As this plugin uses the `docker-args` hook, it requires a development version
of dokku at or after https://github.com/progrium/dokku/commit/c77cbf1.

## Installation

```
cd /var/lib/dokku/plugins
sudo git clone https://github.com/stuartpb/dokku-bind-port.git bind-port
```

## Usage

```
$ dokku help
bind display host bindings for an app
bind:create CONTAINER_PORT [HOST_PORT] create a host binding for an app
bind:delete CONTAINER_PORT delete a host binding for an app
```

The `HOST_PORT` argument defaults to the port specified in `CONTAINER_PORT`.

The `HOST_PORT` argument may include a specific interface to bind to, prefixed
with the interface and a colon.

By default, a port binding specifies TCP: to bind a UDP port, suffix the
`CONTAINER_PORT` argument with `/udp`.

For more information, see the Docker documentation on [port redirection][].
