Coolify is a self-hosted PaaS (Vercel/Netlify alternative) that deploys applications, databases, and services on your own infrastructure. It provides a REST API for programmatic control, supports multiple build packs, and uses Traefik for reverse proxy and SSL.
When to use: Deploying applications to self-hosted infrastructure, managing databases and services through API, automating deployments via CI/CD, self-hosting without vendor lock-in.
When NOT to use: Initial Coolify server installation (use the official install script via browser), managing Coolify's own infrastructure (Postgres, Redis — managed internally), or when a managed platform (Vercel, Railway) meets your needs without self-hosting requirements.
Coolify 自託管 PaaS,用於透過 REST API 和 Git 整合部署應用程式、資料庫和服務。涵蓋 API 驗證、部署觸發器、建置套件(Nixpacks、Dockerfile、Compose)、帶有 GitHub Actions webhooks 的 CI/CD、環境管理和 Traefik 代理程式配置。 在將應用程式部署到 Coolify、透過 API 觸發部署、配置建置套件、設定 GitHub Actions CI/CD 管道、管理環境變數或排除部署故障時使用。 來源:oakoss/agent-skills。
