🔗 3. Create the backing services

For dokku, you can add backing services with plugins. https://dokku.com/docs/community/plugins/#official-plugins-beta

Probably you already have installed plugins, and now you can create services.

1. Create a Postgres service with the name for your database

# [email protected]

1. Set DATABASE_URL env variable by linking the service
