The `ps:scale` command now accepts a `--format` flag that defaults to `stdout` and can be set to `json` to emit the current formation as a JSON array of process type and quantity objects, matching the JSON output the `:report` subcommands already provide. The flag only applies when displaying the current formation; it is ignored when process types are supplied for scaling. When no scale has been set for the app, the JSON output is an empty array.
`dokku ps:set <app> restart-policy` with no value erroneously returned `Invalid restart-policy specified` instead of unsetting the property like every other ps property. The restart policy is now managed as a normal app and global property surfaced through the `--ps-restart-policy`, `--ps-global-restart-policy`, and `--ps-computed-restart-policy` report flags, with the effective value applied at deploy time and existing values migrated on install. Because it is no longer stored as a Docker option it no longer appears in `docker-options:report`, and `--ps-restart-policy` now reports the raw value with the `on-failure:10` default available via `--ps-computed-restart-policy`.
Every Go-implemented plugin's `:report --format json` now emits keys without the redundant `<plugin>-` head segment, matching the shape bash plugins have always emitted. The CLI flag names and `:set` semantics are unchanged. For backwards compatibility during the 0.38.x patch series, the legacy `<plugin>-<property>` keys are emitted side-by-side with the new keys, and a future major release will drop the legacy keys. `common.ReportSingleApp` is refactored to accept a `ReportSingleAppInput` struct with a `Validate()` method so the input is checked before any work runs, which also catches the latent `"docker options"` reportType bug at the API boundary.
Adds the missing raw/global/computed report keys for ten settable properties across the ps, builder, scheduler, proxy, openresty, nginx, and scheduler-k3s plugins so external tooling can verify drift through `:report --format json`. The scheduler-k3s `token` is masked as `*******` in default stdout output and only unmasked when the report is requested via `--format json` or when the flag is queried explicitly by name; the same explicit-query unmasking rule is extended to the existing traefik `dns-provider-<env_var>` keys.
The `ps` and `cron` plugins emitted `:report --format json` keys that
skipped the `<plugin>-` prefix or `-global-` infix used by every other
plugin, forcing external consumers to special-case those names. Rename
the affected report flags so they match the `<plugin>-global-<property>`
and `<plugin>-computed-<property>` convention introduced in 0.38.0, and
add the previously missing `computed-` siblings to both the per-app and
`--global` reports so the shape lines up with caddy, haproxy, and
traefik.
Renames the existing `## Internal properties` umbrella section to `## Properties` across all plugin docs and adds a new `### Settable properties` subsection enumerating every property accepted by each plugin's `:set` command. Each row lists scope, default, the actual `:report` flag shapes that surface the value, and a one-line description. The buildpacks plugin is included even though it uses `:set-property`, with a note in the subsection clarifying the legacy command name. Property lists, scopes, and report flags were verified against plugin source and the live dokku binary.
The internal-properties tables on builds.md (8 --build-* flags),
ssl.md (8 --ssl-* flags), and process-management.md (4 ps flags) each
crammed all the flags into a single comma-separated table row with one
umbrella description. Splits each into a row per flag with a specific
description and the actual code-path source (the build record write
path, the openssl x509 parse target, the ps inspection helper).
The bats coverage for plugin :report keys has been uneven since the raw/global/computed split landed in PR #8640. This commit adds a single combined triplet test per settable property across app-json, builder, builder-dockerfile, builder-herokuish, builder-lambda, builder-nixpacks, builder-pack, builder-railpack, buildpacks, cron (maintenance), git (keep-git-dir, rev-env-var, source-image), logs (vector-sink, vector-global-image, vector-global-networks), network (attach-post-create, attach-post-deploy, initial-network), proxy (per-app type), ps (stop-timeout-seconds), registry (image-repo, push-on-release, push-extra-tags), storage (build/deploy/run mounts), and adds a new tests/unit/scheduler.bats and tests/unit/nginx-vhosts_properties.bats. Brings ps `procfile-path` and `stop-timeout-seconds` global getters in line with the #8640 convention (raw global, default resolved in computed). Documents the read-only and internal properties that surface in `:report` (or are written by Dokku) but cannot be managed by `:set` in a new `## Internal properties` section appended to each affected plugin's docs page.
Per-plugin management docs now describe the properties introduced by the env-var-to-property migration in PR #8498, and stale prose and command-output examples that still referenced the old `DOKKU_*` names have been refreshed. The deprecated env vars table moves out of `environment-variables.md` and into the 0.38.0 migration guide, where it functions as a one-time pointer for upgrading users rather than ongoing reference material.
This change converts existing CHECKS files into a healthchecks key that is understood by 'docker-container-healthchecker'. This tool supports a number of different types of container healthchecks - command, http, uptime - and can perform healthchecks against non-web processes.
The use of the old CHECKS file is now deprecated, and will be removed in the next minor version. Users can use the 'docker-container-healthchecker' to convert existing CHECKS files to the new format automatically.
Closes#2760
Recent Dokku changes invalidate a bunch of docs around where files need to be placed in order for Dokku to respect them. This doc change clarifies where files are extracted from in cases where source code is available, which should hopefully make users less confused about how the system works.
See https://railsnotes.xyz/blog/deploying-ruby-on-rails-with-dokku-redis-sidekiq-arm-docker-hetzner for the inspiration - I was reading through it and was like 'these docs are definitely incorrect...'.
This changes restarts to drop the 'release' part that currently gets triggered, which also helps reduce the possibility that a new image layer will be added due to predeploy deploy triggers.
Note that the old method essentially halfway-rebuilt the app (which was what added the extra layer). This refactor removes that, which is a bc-break.
Additionally, scaling processes will result in deploying _only_ restarting the processes being scaled.
Closes#2184
