Installation ​

Installation is automated with a single script.

curl -fsSL https://cdn.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh | bash

You can find the source code here.

The script will do the followings on your operating system:

• Basic commands: curl wget git jq jc
• Docker Engine (23+)
• Configures proper logging for Docker Engine.
• Creates directory structure at /data/coolify for all the configuration files.
• Creates an SSH key for Coolify to be able to manage this server from itself at /data/coolify/ssh/keys/id.root@host.docker.internal.
• Install dockerized Coolify.

Requirements ​

Supported Architectures ​

AMD64 and ARM architecture are supported.

Supported Operating Systems ​

Debian based servers are supported, due to the installation script (Coolify itself supports every OS that could run a Docker Engine). If you would like to have other, please consider open an issue on GitHub.

Resources ​

Minimum required resources for Coolify:

• 2 CPUs
• 2 GBs memory
• 30+ GB of storage for the images.

Additional Resources ​

Based on what you would like to run with Coolify, additional resources (CPU, memory, disk) are needed.

Self-hosting could be heavy if you would like to run a lot of things.

For example, I'm hosting most of my production stuffs on a server with:

• 8GB of memory (average usage 3.5GB)
• 4 CPUs (average usage ~20-30%)
• 150GB disk (usage 40GB)

Hosting the following things:

• 3 NodeJS apps
• 4 Static sites
• Plausible Analytics (for visitor analytics)
• Fider (feedback tool)
• UptimeKuma (uptime monitoring)
• Ghost (my newsletters)
• 3 Redis databases
• 2 PostgreSQL databases

Uninstall ​

You can easily uninstall Coolify by stopping the following containers, coolify,coolify-db, coolify-proxy, and coolify-redis or by executing the following script:

docker stop -t 0 coolify coolify-db coolify-proxy coolify-redis; docker rm coolify coolify-db coolify-proxy coolify-redis

You also need to cleanup all the docker volumes as well.

docker volume rm coolify-db coolify-redis

And delete all configurations in /data/coolify:

rm -f /data/coolify
