peaklabs-dev··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
We are currently investigating and planning something for scaling not based on swarm, so stay tuned, it may happen soon.
peaklabs-dev··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
I totally understand, thanks for the feedback. We have a lot of stability improvements planned, especially for deployments (announcement soon).

I understand. We recently made a change that makes all pages render like a SPA, so no full page reloads anymore, that said we are developing a new UI, most likely with vue.js.

I know that feeling, we are constantly improving the stability of Coolify, so we hope that this is not the case with us.

What upsells does Coolify have? All features are completely free and the Cloud version is exactly the same as the self-hosted one.

Full instance migration is in development but not yet released.
peaklabs-dev··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
Just use the Clone button on the Resources page or on the Resource Operations tab of an application - the functions are very self-explanatory, so there is no documentation yet.

Backup improvements are planned and under investigation. The only major issues with backups for non DB containers is that they need to be stopped to ensure data integrity. We are investigating some filesystem level snapshots, but not sure yet.

Then you have not tried Coolify and all its features.
peaklabs-dev··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
Coolify Cloud lets you connect your own servers in pretty much 1 click and then just deploy resources, you do not need to worry about upgrading Coolify, instance backups and so on, we manage all that for you.

Yes, Coolify is completely open source and all features are completely free - the cloud and self-hosted versions are completely the same and the hosting is pretty simple.

We are also working on backups. The only big problem with backups for non DB Containers is that they need to be stopped to ensure data consistency, so we are looking at some filesystem level options but not sure yet.

I am glad you like it. If you have any problems or questions, just let me know.

This is true for most alternatives, but not for Coolify. I am the second maintainer of Coolify and Andras and I maintain most of Core Coolify while we have 4 other maintainers helping with support and the docs and a few other maintainers who help with CLI and some other stuff.

Many stability improvements and a new UI/UX are coming soon.
peaklabs-dev··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
Exactly what problems did you have?
peaklabs-dev··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
Coolify is much more feature rich and well maintained with a clear open source license.
peaklabs-dev··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
A new UI is being planned and developed as we speak, so the UI/UX will improve a lot. PHP has nothing to do with this.

What was the issue you had with Redis?

We are currently investigating and planning something for scaling, so stay tuned, it may happen soon.
peaklabs-dev··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
Thanks for using it, there will be many more features to make it even more production ready and stable in the future.
peaklabs-dev··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
Yes, you can move or clone to a separate server with a single click. Only volumes are not currently supported when doing this.
peaklabs-dev··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
Yes, lots of exciting stuff coming soon.

This is true for most alternatives, but not for Coolify.

It is only Docker Compose that has some limitations, but for all other types of applications it is currently zero downtime, but improvements are planned in this area.

If you are using Nixpacks, then yes it is used to build you docker image.

That is true, Coolify supports magic variables to make your life easier by automatically creating values like passwords and URLs, but you are not forced to use them, it is just there to make your life easier, some improvements to the naming and docs for the magic vars are planned.

SSL support for DBs was added in a recent release.

A new UI is planned and under development as we speak.

Improvements to zero downtime deployments and our overall deployment flow, including scaling across multiple servers, are under planning and will be released later this year.
