Does Dokku have a subscription I need to cancel?

No. Dokku itself is free and open-source (MIT license) with no subscription or recurring fees. Dokku Pro is a one-time $849 lifetime license, not a subscription. Your recurring billing is with whatever VPS/hosting provider you run Dokku on.

Can I get a refund for Dokku Pro?

No. The Dokku Pro license agreement explicitly states that licensees are not entitled to any refund, rebate, compensation, or restitution for any reason, even if the software has material flaws. All sales are final.

What happens to my apps after I stop using Dokku?

All deployed apps stop running when you uninstall Dokku or destroy the server. Your application code and data remain on disk until you delete them or destroy the server. Back up any important data before removing Dokku.

Can I reactivate or reinstall Dokku after removing it?

Yes. Dokku is open-source and freely available. You can reinstall it at any time on a new or existing server by following the installation instructions at dokku.com/docs/getting-started/installation/. If you had a Dokku Pro license, the lifetime license remains valid and can be reused on permitted servers.

How do I stop being billed for Dokku?

Log into your VPS/cloud provider (e.g. DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Vultr) and delete or destroy your server/droplet/instance. That is where Dokku hosting costs originate. Dokku software itself is free and does not bill you.

Is my data deleted when I cancel the hosting server?

Yes — destroying a VPS/server deletes all data on it, including Dokku apps, databases, and configurations. Export or back up any data you want to keep before destroying the server.

Understand Dokku's model

Dokku (dokku.com) is free, open-source self-hosted software with no subscription or recurring fees. There is nothing to 'cancel' — you simply stop using it. If you purchased Dokku Pro ($849 lifetime license at pro.dokku.com), note it is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, so there is no recurring charge to cancel.

Stop your Dokku apps

SSH into your server and stop all running Dokku applications by running: `dokku ps:stopall`. This gracefully stops all app processes before removal.

Remove Dokku from your server

Uninstall Dokku by running: `sudo apt-get remove --purge dokku` (Debian/Ubuntu). This removes the Dokku software and its configuration from your server.

Cancel your hosting server

If you are running Dokku on a VPS (e.g. DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode), log into your hosting provider's dashboard and destroy/delete the Droplet, server, or instance. This is where your actual recurring billing exists — not with Dokku itself.

Contact Dokku Pro support (if applicable)

If you purchased Dokku Pro and wish to discuss your license, contact the team via the support email listed on pro.dokku.com. Note: the license agreement explicitly states no refunds are available under any circumstances.
