What is Coolify?
Coolify is an open-source and self-hostable alternative to Heroku, Netlify, and Vercel. It helps you manage servers, applications, and databases on your own hardware. You only need an SSH connection.
You can use a VPS, a bare-metal server, a Raspberry Pi, or any other server that accepts SSH connections. Coolify gives you the convenience of a cloud platform while you keep control of your infrastructure.
Your configurations stay on your servers. If you stop using Coolify, your running resources continue to work and remain manageable.
What can Coolify do?
- Deploy any application: Build from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea with Nixpacks, Railpack, Dockerfile, Docker Compose, or a prebuilt Docker image.
- Run databases and services: Deploy managed databases and more than 360 one-click services with persistent storage and generated credentials.
- Automate deployments: Deploy on every Git push, create pull-request previews, call deployment webhooks, and roll back to retained application images.
- Manage networking: Configure custom domains, automatic HTTPS certificates, reverse proxies, health checks, and container networks.
- Operate your infrastructure: Manage multiple servers, inspect deployment and runtime logs, open container terminals, and monitor resource status.
- Protect your workloads: Configure database and storage backups, scheduled tasks, environment variables, secrets, and notifications.
- Integrate with your workflow: Manage resources through the dashboard, API, CLI, MCP, and team-based access controls.
Quick start
