Self-host Coolify on a no-KYC VPS

Deploy Coolify VPS from $15.59 / month / 4 GB RAM minimum

Quick start: Coolify on Servury (one-line installer)

Tested on Ubuntu 24. Pick a 4 GB+ plan, deploy, SSH in. 
# 1. Run the official installer (it sets up Docker too)
curl -fsSL https://cdn.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh | sudo bash

# 2. Wait ~3 minutes. The script prints your dashboard URL when done.

# 3. Open http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8000, register the root admin account

# 4. (Optional) Point coolify.yourdomain.com at the VPS, set a domain
#    in the dashboard, Coolify auto-provisions Let's Encrypt for it

# 5. Connect a git source (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea), pick a repo, deploy.
#    Auto-detects Dockerfile / Nixpacks / static / Next.js / Laravel / etc.

What Coolify replaces

Vercel / Netlify / Render git push -> auto-deploy with build logs, preview URLs, custom domains, automatic HTTPS. No per-build minute fees.
Heroku One-click apps via Nixpacks buildpacks. Run any language: Node, Python, Ruby, Go, Rust, PHP, Elixir, Java, .NET.
Supabase / PlanetScale / Upstash One-click databases: Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis, KeyDB, MongoDB, ClickHouse. Backups baked in.
CapRover / Dokku Same niche, but with a friendlier UI, multi-server orchestration, and a much larger one-click services catalog.
No vendor lock-in Apps run as plain Docker containers. If you ever leave Coolify, you keep working containers, configs, and data.
Multi-server fleet Connect more Servury VPSes as workers and Coolify load-balances across them. Scale horizontally without leaving the dashboard.

Fair questions

How much VPS do I need?

4 GB RAM is the realistic minimum: Coolify itself + Traefik + a Postgres for Coolify's own state + your apps eat memory fast. 8 GB is more comfortable once you have 5+ services. Bigger fleets use multiple VPSes managed from one Coolify dashboard.

Does it auto-renew TLS?

Yes. Coolify ships Traefik with automatic Let's Encrypt provisioning and renewal for every domain you bind to a service.

Can I deploy from a private repo?

Yes. Connect GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, or any private git via deploy keys. Webhook-driven auto-deploy on push.

How are backups handled?

Coolify's built-in backup feature dumps databases on a schedule and ships them to S3-compatible storage. For full disaster recovery, snapshot the VPS volume too.

Will Coolify upgrades break my apps?

Coolify upgrades the dashboard, not your app containers. Your apps keep running on whatever Docker images you set. Worst case: revert by pulling an older Coolify image.

Can I run preview deploys per PR?

Yes. Coolify has a "preview deployments" toggle that spins up a temporary container per PR and tears it down on merge or close.

Is Coolify open source?

Yes, AGPLv3. Self-hosted free forever. The hosted Coolify Cloud is just a convenience offering on top of the same code.

Does Servury log my Coolify traffic?

No. No application-level logging on customer servers. Anonymous signup, crypto/card payment, no logs.
