Overview

Coolify is an open-source platform for deploying applications, databases and services on servers you control. Instead of relying on a hosted service like Heroku, Netlify or Vercel, you connect Coolify to your own VPS, bare-metal server or Raspberry Pi over SSH and manage everything from one dashboard. Coolify can build apps from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or Gitea using Nixpacks, Railpack, Dockerfile, Docker Compose or a prebuilt Docker image. It also deploys managed databases and more than 300 one-click services, handles custom domains and automatic HTTPS certificates, runs deployments on Git pushes, and supports rollbacks, backups, logs and container terminals. Access is available through the dashboard, API, CLI and MCP. It suits developers and small teams who want cloud-style convenience without giving up control of their infrastructure. Coolify is released under the Apache-2.0 license and is free to self-host, with a managed Coolify Cloud option for those who prefer not to maintain the server.

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

Install Coolify on a supported server with one command:

curl -fsSL https://cdn.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh | bash
