Updating this plugin

Dokku doesn't handle plugin update. I made a pull request to dokku for that (dokku/dokku#669)

So, each time you update this plugin with git pull, you need to call:

$ dokku volume:migrate

Info

This plugin mount container_path to a generated folder in /home/dokku/.o_volume :
