vue ts + vite frontend, express backend, with a dockerfile and a deploy script to my dokku

### steps to get started on the dokku side
1. create a dokku app
   ```bash
   dokku apps:create $REPO_NAME
   ```
2. create postgres database
   ```bash
   dokku postgres:create ${REPO_NAME}-db
   ```
3. link the database to the app
   ```bash 
   dokku postgres:link ${REPO_NAME}-db $REPO_NAME
    ```
4. setup db if applicable 
   - dump local db
   ```bash
    pg_dump -Fc --no-acl --no-owner -h localhost -U <db-user> <db-name> > db.dump
    ```
    - restore to dokku db
   ```bash
    dokku postgres:import ${REPO_NAME}-db < db.dump
    ```
5. set app to use nginx
    - set proxy to nginx
   ```bash
   dokku proxy:set $REPO_NAME nginx
   ```
   
   - map nginx port to internal docker port
   ```bash
    dokku ports:add $REPO_NAME <scheme>:<nginx-port>:<internal-docker-port>
    ```
6. set repo dokku deploy key
   - copy the private key from dokku into the repo secrets under the name `DOKKU_DEPLOY_KEY`
7. add the public key to known hosts on dokku
   ```bash
    dokku ssh-keys:add $REPO_NAME <path-to-public-key>
    ```
8. set environment variables
   - create a `.env` file on the dokku server
   - add the variables to the `.env` file
   - add the variables to the app
   ```bash
   cat .env | xargs dokku config:set --no-restart $REPO_NAME
   ```
it should be ready to go now, you can deploy with the deployment script
