About

What is Coolify?

Coolify is a fast-growing open-source platform-as-a-service that lets developers deploy any application, database, or service on their own VPS or bare-metal server — without managing complex DevOps. It supports one-click deployment of Docker containers, Git-based apps (Node, Python, PHP, Ruby), popular databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB), and over 100 one-click services (Supabase, Ghost, n8n, etc.). With automatic SSL, reverse proxy (Traefik), and a beautiful dashboard, Coolify is the self-hosted alternative to Heroku, Railway, and Netlify.
