why I get ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined) in dokku

Question

I need help. I'm trying to deploy my Python/Flask app to Dokku server but I get an error and I don't have any idea of how to fix it. this is the git remote:

dokku   dokku@apps.danieldiaz.me:portfolio (fetch)
dokku   dokku@apps.danieldiaz.me:portfolio (push)

the app is created on the server, but when I make a:

git push dokku

or:

git push dokku master

I get this error:

error: failed to push some refs to 'dokku@apps.danieldiaz.me:portfolio'

The domain apps.danieldiaz.me works, I can connect via ssh.

Answer 1

Your python dependencies could not be detected so Dokku was unable to select the python buildpack. You'll need to have a requirements.txt denoting your dependencies in the root of your repo to fix that.
