The resource plugin is meant to allow users to limit or reserve resources for a given app/process-type combination.

Usage

By default, Dokku allows unlimited resource access to apps deployed on a server. In some cases, it may be desirable to limit this on a per-app or per-process-type basis. The resource plugin allows management of both resource "limits" and resource "reservations", where each resource request type has specific meaning to the scheduler in use for a given app.

The meaning of a values and it's units are specific to the scheduler in use for a given app. If a scheduler does not support a given resource type combination, it will be ignored. All resource commands require an app rebuild or deploy in order to take effect.

Valid resource options include:

  • --cpu
  • --memory
  • --memory-swap
  • --network
  • --network-ingress
  • --network-egress

Resource Limits

When specified and supported, a resource limit will ensure that your app does not go over the specified value. If this occurs, the underlying scheduler may either cap resource utilization, or it may decide to terminate and reschedule your process.

Resource limits may be set via the resource:limit command:

dokku resource:limit --memory 100 node-js-app
=====> Setting resource limits for node-js-app
       memory: 100

Multiple resources can be limited in a single call:

dokku resource:limit --cpu 100 --memory 100 node-js-app
=====> Setting resource limits for node-js-app
       cpu: 100
       memory: 100

Resources can also be limited on a per-process type basis. If specified, this will override any generic limits set for the app.

dokku resource:limit --cpu 100 --memory 100 --process-types worker node-js-app
=====> Setting resource limits for node-js-app (worker)
       cpu: 100
       memory: 100

Default Resource Limits

By default, Dokku does not limit any resources, though these can be specified at the server level via the resource:limit-defaults command. As with the resource:limit command, any and all resource request types can be specified.

dokku resource:limit-defaults --memory 100
=====> Setting default resource limits
       memory: 100

Clearing Resource Limits

In cases where the values are incorrect - or there is no desire to limit resources - resource limits may be cleared using the resource:limit-clear command.

dokku resource:limit-clear node-js-app
-----> Clearing resource limit for node-js-app

Defaults can also be cleared by leaving the app unspecified.

dokku resource:limit-clear
-----> Clearing default resource limits

Resource Reservations

When specified and supported, a resource reservation will ensure that your server has at least the specified resources before placing a given app's process. If there a resource exhaustion, future rebuilds and deploys may fail.

Resource reservations may be set via the resource:reserve command:

dokku resource:reserve --memory 100 node-js-app
=====> Setting resource reservation for node-js-app
       memory: 100

Multiple resources can be limited in a single call:

dokku resource:reserve --cpu 100 --memory 100 node-js-app
=====> Setting resource reservation for node-js-app
       cpu: 100
       memory: 100

Resources can also be limited on a per-process type basis. If specified, this will override any generic limits set for the app.

dokku resource:reserve --cpu 100 --memory 100 --process-types worker node-js-app
=====> Setting resource reservation for node-js-app (worker)
       cpu: 100
       memory: 100

Default Resource Reservations

By default, Dokku does not reserve any resources, though these can be specified at the server level via the resource:reserve-defaults command. As with the resource:reserve command, any and all resource request types can be specified.

dokku resource:reserve-defaults --memory 100
=====> Setting default resource reservation
       memory: 100

Clearing Resource Reservations

In cases where the values are incorrect - or there is no desire to reserve resources - resource reservations may be cleared using the resource:reserve-clear command.

dokku resource:reserve-clear node-js-app
-----> Clearing resource reservation for node-js-app

Defaults can also be cleared by leaving the app unspecified.

dokku resource:reserve-clear
-----> Clearing default resource reservation

Displaying resource reports for an app

You can get a report about the app's resource status using the resource:report command:

dokku resource:report
=====> node-js-app resource information
       Resource limit cpu:
       Resource limit memory: 1024
       Resource limit memory swap: 0
       Resource limit network: 10
       Resource limit network ingress:
       Resource limit network egress:
       Resource reservation cpu:
       Resource reservation memory: 512
       Resource reservation memory swap:
       Resource reservation network: 8
       Resource reservation network ingress:
       Resource reservation network egress:
=====> python-sample resource information
       Resource limit cpu:
       Resource limit memory:
       Resource limit memory swap:
       Resource limit network:
       Resource limit network ingress:
       Resource limit network egress:
       Resource reservation cpu:
       Resource reservation memory:
       Resource reservation memory swap:
       Resource reservation network:
       Resource reservation network ingress:
       Resource reservation network egress:
=====> ruby-sample resource information
       Resource limit cpu:
       Resource limit memory:
       Resource limit memory swap:
       Resource limit network:
       Resource limit network ingress:
       Resource limit network egress:
       Resource reservation cpu:
       Resource reservation memory:
       Resource reservation memory swap:
       Resource reservation network:
       Resource reservation network ingress:
       Resource reservation network egress:

You can run the command for a specific app also.

dokku resource:report node-js-app
=====> node-js-app resource information
       Resource limit cpu:
       Resource limit memory: 1024
       Resource limit memory swap: 0
       Resource limit network: 10
       Resource limit network ingress:
       Resource limit network egress:
       Resource reservation cpu:
       Resource reservation memory: 512
       Resource reservation memory swap:
       Resource reservation network: 8
       Resource reservation network ingress:
       Resource reservation network egress:

You can pass flags which will output only the value of the specific information you want. For example:

dokku resource:report node-js-app --resource-memory
