Deploying using dokku

To deploy WallacePOS on dokku:

Install the dokku-apt plugin on your dokku host.

OR

Use my dokku mysql plugin to create and link the database automagically.
Commit deploy in the usual manner.

dokku storage:mount %APP_NAME% /var/lib/dokku/data/storage/%APP_NAME%:/app/docs

WARINING: Failure to do so will lead to data loss during subsequent upgrades.
Access /installer/?install from the web browser to install the database schema & templates
