look mom & dad, I am famous!

Hey, the dev behind Coolify here.

We are working on a new UI, and to be even more mature, and a lot of other things, because now I am not doing this alone as I used to for years.

Most recent Github stars are came from big tech youtuber's videos.

GH stars of Coolify built over 4 years.

This demo page is just a tailwind template with a few modifications here and there.

It would be practical for the user, but not for the company.

Why does this not exist after years (more than a decade since EC2) of cloud computing?

Because it is not good for the VC investors.

Sure, but take a look at this: https://getdeploying.com/reference/data-egress

60 TB

On Hetzner (VPS provider): $1. On Netlify: $33,000

I also prefer to get a (decaf) coffee, listen to some music while someone DDoS'd my VPS. I prefer to pay few $ / month for my VPS instead of paying thousands and "survive" the DDoS.

Which competitor do I push exactly? :)

(I created serverlesshorrors)

Why don't people use Laravel/Rails/Django and make good web apps in no time?

So much pain could fly away instantly.

Looks awesome! Great job!

30GB disk space is the recommended disk space to be able to host something with it. Coolify itself is a few hundred MB (thank you, node_modules).

Thank you, Michal, for mentioning Coolify in your blog post!

That will be Coolify Cloud :) (https://beta.coolify.io).

I had a similar idea before (linking resources like this), thanks for reminding me.

I will add such DX improvement, for sure!

Wow, thank you!

I'm open for anything but I never used Swift server before, so not sure if it could be integrated. I have to take a look.

Personally, I do not use Cloudflare, but Coolify works with it!

The reason, I (founder of Coolify) choose that, it was faster.

I’m currently making a feature, that will change this. All services could be defined with a simple yaml file that won’t be hardcoded. They will be sitting in a repository and everyone can add any service with a simple yaml file.

It is definitely more maintainable than the current solution, but with the current solution, I could iterate faster. :)

Not “natively”, but as lots of people asking, I will add it soon. Try to fit in this week! :)

Yes, as lolinder mentioned, there will be a hosted version soon. :)

That feature is currently WIP. :)

You can attach any number of servers (and Remote Docker Engines) to a single Coolify instance (docker swarm is not supported).

If you are using a remote server, the building process of an application is done on the remote server and not locally (on Coolify's server), so Coolify won't be affected on how many builds are doing concurrently. The only limit is the CPU/Memory of your servers. :)

The ultimate & standard scaling solution will be K8s.

I saw CapRover's one-click-apps and I'm thinking of using a similar solution in case of Coolify.

Resources are defined in this way, because you can connect a lot of things to Coolify, GitHub, GitLab, hosted or self-hosted, later on Gitea and other git sources, and also different destinations, local docker engine, remote docker engine and later on Kubernetes. I will improve the onboarding experience to not feel the first use as a burden. :)

Git based deployment is only required, if you would like to deploy a custom thing, that is currently not supported by Coolify. I'm working on a solution where you can use Docker Hub to deploy images (https://feedback.coolify.io/posts/6/deploy-from-docker-hub).

Atm, only individual servers, but Coolify will be able to deploy to any Kubernetes platform soon, natively.

Yes, I mean that you can easily deploy static sites. It does not have global CDN and serverless functions (yet), but you can easily set a CDN (like bunny.net) in front of your sites and then it will be globally CDN'd. I'm using similar setup all my marketing sites. It is deployed by Coolify to a server and Bunny CDN will make it globally available. So I do not need to care about any traffic bumps (like I have at the moment) and all my commits are deployed automatically.

Hey, Andras here, founder of Coolify (https://coolify.io). Coolify is an open-source & self-hostable Heroku / Netlify alternative.

Lots of features are added day-by-day and I'm open for new ones. Visit our Github (https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify) or our feedback page (https://feedback.coolify.io/) to get more info.

A few months ago, I quit my job and started to work on it full-time (best decision I've made).

It is not VC funded (said no to 30+ investors - time will let me know if it was a good decision or not ), but funded by the awesome community! <3

Why I'm mentioning this? Because I would like to focus on the functionalities, the community & the users and not the revenue and other boring metrics. I just would like to make a good software, enjoy the process and make people's life easier. I do not want to make millions of dollars from it. If me and my family could live happily, that is totally fine.

Let me know if you have an questions. I'm happy to answer them.

(Also I'm working on a cloud/managed hosting version of Coolify (https://beta.coolify.io/))

Thank you for mentioning Coolify (founder here). :)

Hey, the founder of Coolify here. I'm constantly adding new features to Coolify.

Which ones are you missing (except Docker Swarm)?

Thanks, Stefanha!

It is not supported at the moment, but as any service could be added which can be hosted by Docker, it is possible to have a one-click git repository. :)

Regarding the buildpacks, I will add more general buildpacks (Heroku's Buildpacks (v2a), Cloudfoundry's Buildpacks (v2b), or the new Cloud Native Buildpack[2], initiative (v3)) like a commenter mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30858538.

I'm fully open for contributors!

Nice! Thanks for the suggestion! I will implement this!
