What it is

  • PaaS
  • Deployment
  • Git
  • Docker

Coolify is an open-source deployment platform, your own Heroku, Vercel or Netlify alternative. Connect a GitHub or GitLab repository and Coolify builds and runs the app, issues a certificate and redeploys on every new commit.

Besides apps on Node.js, Python, PHP and other stacks, you can deploy databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB) and hundreds of ready-made services in 1 click. Database backups can be sent to S3.

Coolify also manages other servers over SSH, so a single instance serves your whole infrastructure.

  • Git deploys with auto-build on push
  • Automatic Let's Encrypt certificates
  • 1-click databases and hundreds of services
  • Database backups to S3-compatible storage
  • Manage multiple servers over SSH
  • Preview environments for pull requests

Which plan should I choose?

Coolify itself needs 2 cores and 2 GB RAM. Apps and databases run on the same server, so leave headroom: 3 vCPU and 5 GB or more.

How do I update Coolify?

From the UI: Settings → Update, or by re-running the install script.

Where is the data stored?

In /data/coolify: settings, SSH keys, backups and app files.

Coolify installs at checkout — in the bot.
