Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, I'm from Hungary. I will add an opt-out feature, but I do not think it is an analytics thing. It is used to count installed instances on the frontpage. That's all.

Coolify is free and always will be.

It depends on the server performance. The demo instance, currently running 130 applications/services/databases, and I see no performance degradation. It is only a simple VPS from Hetzner.

When the Remote Docker Engine and K8s support come out, performance won't be a problem, that's sure.

Yeah, that was the MVP (v1). :)

Thank you for the detailed review/opinion! I love it!

My vision is kinda similar to yours. I would like to simplify things as much as possible and make most things behind a single button. :)

I do not want to only cover the single server solution. It will cover K8s and Remote Docker Engine as well.

With K8s, you can definitely scale to the sky, Coolify will be just to simplify the building and deployment part. It will be a huge feature, but I love K8s, so it will come soon. I'm sure it won't cover everything in the initial release. I love to work in small iterations and iterate often.

But before K8s, I will integrate Remote Docker Engine. That will make a single Coolify instance to manage several servers and even loadbalance services between those servers. So it will offer a simple HA/DR solution.

About the project shut down, I do not think it will happen soon. I have a daytime job, so I'm not doing for the money. I'm doing for fun! Coding is fun! It's simple. :)

Also, I will improve the contribution guides as well, so it won't rely only on me.

Not yet. As Netlify (either Heroku) is huge compared to Coolify, but I will keep working on it to fill the gap. :)

Thanks for the suggestion! I will improve the UX part!

Not at the moment, but I will add support to work with Docker Compose.

Thanks!

Haha, yeah. I need to improve the UX part a bit! :)

Thanks! :)

No. It’s backed by the community on opencollective, or at least will be someday.

I have a daytime job, so I’m not doing it for the money.

Yeah, it is clear based on the script that it sets up an UUID just to show how many instances are used (see the landing page). But you are right, I add a state why it is used.

About the registration, I do not understand it. Ofc, you need to register to your own instance, otherwise how you could use it, especially as a team? Each team member needs to register.

Just added a video tutorial on the landing page. https://coolify.io

It's not supported atm. I've added an issue to support ASP.net.

Hey, HackerNews, Andras here!

Coolify started because I was just curious if I can make it work for myself. Then after the first release (v1) and after it went a bit viral here, I quickly realized people might like it!

Coolify's mission is to simplify the building and deployment process of your applications and to be free, open-source, self-hosted and hassle-free, so you only need to concentrate on the code, not the infrastructure. Also, you can quickly spin up databases and other open-source services with just a simple click.

In this way, everyone could shape the application! It is built with the community and backed by the community.

You may ask, how is it financially sustainable? It is not, at the moment, but it is backed by community and the actual users through OpenCollective. After it went viral on here, lots of VC reached out to me to invest and help to raise a fund. I said no to all of them. That is not the way I would like to grow this project.

Features:

- Fully automated update process. You get the latest updates every time a new version is published, you just need to click on a button. That's all.

- Integrated with your favorite GitHub, GitLab hosted and self-hosted instances.

- Automatically deploys pull/merge requests, so you can quickly review contributions and speed up your teamwork!

- You can deploy to Local Docker Engine.

- Automatically generates SSL certificates.

- Automatically configures a reverse proxy for everything deployed with Coolify.

- You can make teams. Each team can only view their own resources.

Future plans:

- Support Bitbucket and Gitea.

- Support Remote Docker Engine, so you can manage several servers from the same Coolify instance.

- Support Kubernetes, so you can scale to infinity and beyond!

- And more... I have lots of cool features on the table!

I love to hear your thoughts, so please, comment below.

PS: This is THE side project that caused me to leave a good paying job when the pandemic started. If you're interested in the full story, you can read it on my blog: https://blog.andrasbacsai.com/why-did-i-leave-my-stable-job-...

Just set up a ko-fi page here: https://ko-fi.com/andrasbacsai :D

Wow, thanks for the motivation!! I wasn't expecting this kind of "hype" around it, that's why there is no such thing on the website.

It will support other languages, not just Node.js. About Dockerfile, I do not see any problem with supporting that case as well, but not in my top priorities now. :)

Thank you! :)

Currently scaling is not possible, but most parts are built scaling in mind. I would like to support Kubernetes later on, but first Docker Swarm, which is way simpler.

Currently, not, but it's planned to support more Git providers, and other kind of apps, like PHP (I like it, roast me). :)

Atm, it's not aiming to be a production-grade system. Indie hackers, hobbyists, probably do not need that to start working on their side project. Also, I'm thinking of provide a hosted version of it, but not know. I want to concentrate on the features now.

It will more than a PaaS. Planned to have services integrated, that needed for your application, like analytics, error reporting, feedback management, etc.

Currently only the frontend code is open sourced.

We are thinking to provide a self-hosted option or some mixed one (you host only the database & we do the aggregation), but it is not our top priority at the moment.

Considered & implemented your feedback!

Take a look on it! https://analytics.coollabs.io :-)

Appreciate your feedback on it!

Thanks for your feedback! Very good points!

123metrics looks amazing! I really like your landing page!

Thank you very much! We hope too!
