Pushing to dokku with dokku-redis-plugin fails (Permission denied) about dokku-redis-plugin

[luxifer]

Did you check on the dokku repo if this behavious is supported?
Anyway I'll have a look on this and I'll try to reproduce this error.
Plus, do you use the mariadb plugin? Have you the same behaviour?

From what I can tell, everything is pretty standard.

The only other plugin I was running at the time was dokku-supervisord.

Same here when doing git push production master

remote: /var/lib/dokku/plugins/redis/commands: line 111: /home/dokku/www/ENV: Permission denied
To dokku@<host>:www

What I can say is that /home/dokku/www/ENV is owned by root. Maybe I configured something wrong. Just getting started with dokku (also on DigitalOcean with the dokku droplet).

Here too. Same as @Prinzhorn

After playing around with dokku some more I have a guess what I did wrong. The installation instructions say

cd /var/lib/dokku/plugins
git clone https://github.com/luxifer/dokku-redis-plugin redis
dokku plugins-install

but how do you execute them on the server? I mean, the dokku user isn't allowed to create a ssh session, he can only execute single dokku commands using ssh -t. That's why I ended up connecting to the server using the root user in order to install the plugin, which explains the permission issues.

So the question is, how do I actually install a dokku plugin using the dokku user?

Edit: This is explained here btw dokku/dokku#502

Thanks for reporting! I use to install dokku plugin as root and I have no problems depoying apps, I'll try

I'm sorry to reply so lately, this plugin has been deprecated, please use https://github.com/dokku/dokku-redis-plugin
