If anyone has experience or suggestions related to this topic, feel free to chime in. This is not a lazy plea to get others to do the work for me as i’ve searched hundreds of different web pages, read countless different opinions and there doesn’t seem to be a combination of events that can be ran that works with all the current variables.
As things are moving rapidly with ember-cli and ideologies change, this is to be expected, but a stable way to deploy and utilize Dokku without requiring Heroku would be a great service to the Ember-CLI community.
If anyone will answer the call on this, i’ll promise to convert 5 other tutorials to the latest ember-cli with step by step instructions for getting RESULTS.
When you run ember build --environment production, you get a single distributable that contains an index.html file with html/css/javascript. In your case, you should not use ember serve for powering your production app. Using --production is more for previewing than anything else. Instead, serve the actual index.html and accompanying assets.
