coolify: A Vercel and Heroku Alternative That Only Requires SSH

An open-source PaaS platform that provides similar features to Vercel, Heroku, and Netlify but runs on your own servers. It works on any hardware, including VPS, bare-metal servers, and Raspberry Pi, as long as an SSH connection is available. It allows you to enjoy the convenience of cloud platforms while maintaining full control over your infrastructure.

It pulls code from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gitea to build and deploy using Nixpacks, Dockerfile, Docker Compose, and more. It supports everything from static sites to full-stack applications and databases, with over 360 services available for one-click installation. It includes built-in deployment automation features such as automatic deployment on Git push, PR preview generation, webhook invocation, and image rollback.

It provides network management features such as custom domain configuration, automatic HTTPS certificate issuance, reverse proxy, and health checks. It also includes operational tools for multi-server management, runtime log viewing, container terminal access, and resource status monitoring. You can protect your workloads through database backups, scheduling, secret management, and notification settings.

It offers integrated resource management via dashboard, API, CLI, and MCP, and supports team-based access control. It is distributed under the Apache-2.0 license, and even if Coolify is stopped, the settings stored on the server and running resources continue to operate. It is suitable for developers who want to reduce cloud hosting costs while managing their infrastructure directly.
