Description
Coolify is an open-source, self-hostable deployment platform created by Andras Bacsai. It turns any VPS or bare-metal server into a Heroku-style target: push to Git, and Coolify builds the application, provisions SSL, and routes traffic through its proxy. Teams that want platform-as-a-service ergonomics on hardware they control run Coolify, with a managed cloud version available for those who skip operating the control plane. The project is funded through its cloud version and sponsorships, and an extensive one-click catalog covers self-hosted services from analytics tools to vector databases.
Key Capabilities:
Git push deployments with Nixpacks and Dockerfile builds
Docker Compose support for multi-service applications
One-click databases and services with scheduled S3-compatible backups
Automatic SSL certificates through Let's Encrypt
Webhooks and a REST API for CI/CD integration
Multi-server management from a single dashboard
