Coolify

Any SSH-accessible Linux box - VPS, bare metal, Raspberry Pi, EC2 - becomes a Heroku-like deployment environment under Coolify, an open-source, self-hostable platform-as-a-service. Connect a GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea repository and every push builds and deploys automatically via Nixpacks, a Dockerfile, or Docker Compose, with Traefik reverse proxying, automatic Let's Encrypt certificates, and per-branch preview deployments with their own URLs. Databases - PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis - provision in a few clicks, and a catalog of 280+ one-click service templates covers WordPress, n8n, Grafana, MinIO, Plausible, and more, replacing an afternoon of Compose YAML with a two-minute operation. One dashboard manages multiple servers, with Docker Swarm available for clustering. Backups go to any S3-compatible storage with one-click restore, a browser terminal gives real-time server access, and a full API supports CI/CD integration. All configuration lives on your own servers, so resources keep running even without Coolify. Apache 2.0 licensed.

Benefits

  • Cloud Ergonomics at VPS Prices
  • The push-to-deploy workflow of Vercel or Heroku runs on a $5-per-month server, with unlimited applications instead of per-app and per-seat platform fees.
  • No Lock-In by Design
  • Apps run in standard Docker containers and every configuration is stored on your own server, so resources keep running even if you stop using Coolify.
  • 280+ Services in One Click
  • The largest open-source template catalog deploys WordPress, n8n, Grafana, and hundreds more with sensible defaults, skipping the Docker Compose boilerplate.
  • Preview Deployments Included
  • Feature branches get their own live URLs automatically and clean up on merge - the Vercel review-app workflow without the SaaS bill.

Features

  • Git-Based Deployments
  • Push to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea and Coolify builds via Nixpacks, Dockerfile, or Docker Compose and ships the result.
  • Automatic SSL and Routing
  • Traefik reverse proxy with Let's Encrypt certificates issued and renewed automatically for every configured domain.
  • Managed Databases
  • PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, and Redis provisioned from the dashboard with scheduled S3-compatible backups and one-click restore.
  • Multi-Server Management
  • Control any number of SSH-connected servers from one dashboard, with Docker Swarm support for clustered workloads.
  • Browser Terminal and Monitoring
  • Real-time terminal access to servers from the web UI, plus resource monitoring and notifications.
  • API and CI/CD Integration
  • A full REST API automates deployments and resource management from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or any pipeline.
