Issues with Dokku and browserify-rails

199 Views Asked by Rick At 17 April 2025 at 16:59

I'm running a Rails app that uses browserify-rails. This requires Node, but I get the following on deploy:

BrowserifyRails::BrowserifyError:
  Unable to run node_modules/.bin/browserify.
  Ensure you have installed it with npm.

My guess is that Dokku is not installing Node, but how can I tell Dokku that this Rails app requires Node?

I have already tried a multi-buildpack setup (use Rails and Node buildpack) but it seems to install Ruby first, causing the deploy to fail.
