What is Coolify?
Coolify is an open-source PaaS (platform as a service) tool that runs on your VPS and gives you a clean web interface for deploying apps, databases, and services without writing long setup scripts or managing server configurations by hand. You connect your server, link your code repository, and Coolify takes care of building your app, getting it online, and keeping it running.
Coolify features include one-click service templates for popular tools, real-time logs, automatic SSL, and support for any app packaged with Docker. Coolify VPS requirements are lightweight, making it an easy, budget-friendly option to run on any server.
What Can You Deploy With Coolify?
Web Applications
Node.js, Python, PHP, Go, Ruby, Rust, Java, static sites, and any app that runs in a container.
Databases
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, and more - on the same server as your app.
Open-Source Tools
n8n, Supabase, Ghost, WordPress, Uptime Kuma, MinIO, Grafana, and Plausible Analytics.
