About Coolify
Coolify is an open source, self-hosted platform for deploying apps, databases and services on your own server. It is designed as an alternative to hosted platforms such as Heroku and Vercel.
What it does
You connect Coolify to your servers over SSH, then push code from Git and it builds and deploys each commit. It manages domains, proxies and environments from one dashboard. Databases and a large catalog of one-click services can run on the same machines, so a single server can host a whole project.
Key features
- Deploy from Git pushes
- One-click services and databases
- Projects and environments in one list
- Connect any server over SSH
Who it's for
Developers and small teams who want the convenience of a hosted platform on servers they control. It suits people who want more control over where their apps run and are comfortable managing a VPS.
Pricing and good to know
Coolify is open source and free to self-host. The project also offers a Cloud version with its own plans, listed on the website. When you self-host, you pay for your server and its upkeep, and you are responsible for keeping the instance updated.
Highlights
- Deploy each Git commit to your own servers
