Coolify VPS

The open-source PaaS with 55,000+ GitHub stars and the largest one-click service catalog in its class — Coolify gives you the Vercel push-to-deploy workflow on a dedicated server you control. Connect a GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea repository and every push builds and deploys automatically via Nixpacks, a Dockerfile, or Docker Compose, with Traefik or Caddy reverse proxying, automatic Let's Encrypt certificates, and per-branch preview deployments with their own URLs. Databases — PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis — provision in a few clicks, and a catalog of 280+ one-click service templates covers WordPress, n8n, Grafana, MinIO, Plausible, Ollama, and more. One dashboard manages the entire server, with Docker Swarm available for clustering multiple nodes. Backups go to any S3-compatible storage with one-click restore, and a full API supports CI/CD integration. All configuration lives on your own server, so resources keep running even if you stop using Coolify — no vendor lock-in by design. Running on a dedicated VPS with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root access via SSH and browser console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

  • Unlike shared-container deployments, Coolify VPS runs on your own isolated server with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD — no noisy neighbors affecting performance.
  • Full Root Access
  • SSH in as root, install packages, configure firewalls, mount volumes, and manage everything with complete system privileges.
  • 280+ Services in One Click
  • The largest open-source template catalog deploys WordPress, n8n, Grafana, and hundreds more with sensible defaults.
  • Preview Deployments Included
  • Feature branches get their own live URLs automatically and clean up on merge — the Vercel review-app workflow without the SaaS bill.
