Coolify
App in the BluixApps catalog
What it is
Coolify is a self-hosted alternative to Heroku, Netlify, and Vercel — push code, get a deployed app with auto-HTTPS, auto-build, Git-based deploys. Strong Docker integration, GitHub/GitLab webhooks, multi-environment, database provisioning.
For developers who want PaaS experience without the per-app SaaS bill, Coolify is the leading OSS choice.
What it's for
- Git-push deploys — every commit triggers automatic build + deploy
- Multi-app hosting — host dozens of apps on one VPS
- Database provisioning — Postgres / MySQL / MongoDB / Redis with one click
- Preview environments — every PR gets a deployed preview
- Indie hosting platform — your own Heroku without paying Heroku
Who it's for
- Solo developers running multiple side projects on one VPS
- Indie teams replacing Heroku / Netlify / Vercel costs with self-host
- Agency dev teams managing client deployments cheaply
- Startup CTOs controlling infrastructure without paying PaaS markup
- DevOps learners understanding container deploys without K8s complexity

Tips & operations
- Persistent volume for app data — each app has its own volume; backup strategy per app
- Resource limits — set per-container CPU/RAM limits to prevent one app eating the VPS
- Multi-server early — easier to start with multi-server than to migrate later
- Backup
/data/coolify— Coolify's own config + DB lives here - Mind Docker socket — Coolify needs Docker socket access; security consideration
- Watch disk usage — Docker images + build cache accumulate; periodic cleanup needed
