Open Source self-hosted alternative to Heroku&Neltify - Coolify

Yet another nice find from the same people behind the privacy-focused alternative to Google Fonts API.
Coolify presents itself as a self-hosted Heroku/Netlify Alternative. Sounds pretty cool!

  • Cool. Any idea what the minimum specs are to run this ?

    Not sure, sorry. Maybe you could join their Discord and ask the dev? Or just give it a try :)

  • So cool. I think it’s required big resources.

    Thanked by 1Ympker
  • The minimum requirements aren't that big. Coolify is just a cool docker wrapper, so whatever resource you need to run docker + the app + to build the container is enough

    Am I crazy or does this have no documentation

  • seems promising, but cannot locate any docs for references or instructions.

    there seems to be only fonts replacement for g fonts, the only obvious project there.

    Yup. I actually had to install it to see how it works. However, the app itself is pretty straightforward.

    "Built for developers" - because developers love not having documentation? This is a red flag.

  • Looks similar to CapRover, but with haproxy in front instead of nginx. Loftier goals (Kubernetes) but no docs.

  • I always get irk feeling when a project had to be installed using 1 click shell script. Anyone have same thought ?

  • I've installed it on VirtualBox / Ubuntu to see what's up. It's pretty much what it claims to be, but a few key points.

    It requires you to first setup it up with your GitHub/gitlab account and a FQDN.

    From there, you can then generate apps, databases and such in containers. It only has 46 installs so... It's small and new

    I installed it on a 896mb, 15GB disk VirMach KVM. It took about 5GB disk including the docker install and docker images.

    What would you prefer?

    Asking because I do project installs with 1 click that download a tarball, then runs an install script, leaving the tarball and install script on the server so you can see what was done. Although I also include an uninstall script, which is not the case here.

    Is this including os?

    no, just what was added. If you have docker already installed it would be less.

    A tarball/zip with installation instruction sounds nice, but again this probably just matter of taste. I like having to do things myself, others may be not-- thus install script would be a big help for them. YMMV

    Portainer is a more mature platform to manage containers on your own server. You will still need to do some setup work for each app. So it's not 1-click.

    For the truly lazy, I'm building PikaPods.com which will be close to 1-click with setup steps like DB, volumes and UID mapping done for you (free this year while in beta).

    Now that I'm a bit deeper into the topic I see one issue with this container craze: You need to have processes in place for 2 upgrade channels: the base image (like Alpine or Ubuntu) and the app you're packaging. App authors usually only deal with the the latter. As provider (or when self-hosting) you should care about both IMHO.

  • Coolify 2.x released few days ago. The docs aren't ready yet. Been following their discord few weeks now. 2.x is not properly ready yet. It's like alpha/beta release. See their releases.

    Didn't have a chance to have a go at it, yet. Since it says only 40ish instances deployed, I assume it is fairly new. Perhaps, documentation will be added soon. Until then probably just try in a vm :P
