Dokku: How to choose the application's url in advance

[knzudgt]

I purchased a domain, say example.me
Once deployed my application with Dokku, I would like its url be www.example.me
Am I expected to name my application www on the Dokku host with the following command?

$ dokku apps:create www

You can read about domain configuration on the docs. http://dokku.viewdocs.io/dokku/configuration/domains/

[josegonzalez]

You can create an app:

dokku apps:create derp

And then set any domains you want

dokku domains:set derp www.example.com

And then deploy it as normal:

git push dokku master

See our domains documentation for more details.

@josegonzalez If I set example.me during initial configuration (global domain name) and then I do as you suggest, since the documentation says that the typical application's url is scheme://subdomain.domain.tld, and the subdomain is inferred from the pushed application name, I would like to avoid that my application, after deployment, will get the url: http://derp.www.example.me.
Instead, I would like it to be referenced as http://www.example.me or http://example.me
Would the following command suit me?

dokku domains:set derp example.me www.example.me

Yes, that works fine. If you call domains:set, it overrides any automatic domain addition.
