It's not a fancy title!! Coolify is actually a new fancy product that is an open-source & self-hostable Heroku / Netlify alternative!

Let's try it out right away??

You can simply install Coolify which runs docker containers (it will automatically install docker if docker is not present on the system)

Install command

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://get.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh)"

docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                       COMMAND                  CREATED         STATUS         PORTS                                       NAMES

Deployment to Kubernetes is WIP -> I am excited about this !!

Let's open up the UI - Excited to see how this looks !! Just after registering a test user, you get this fancy UI.

There is one destination that is local docker.

Application deployment from git

Let's quickly create an application by adding GitHub as the source for applications -

Next, create the GitHub app -

Next would be to add repositories -

Now I can select the repo and branch (Argo,main in my case)

Choose local docker and build a pack for it -

Provide the details for the app and you will be able to see the logs.

THATS IT!!! your application is deployed with https using coolify!!

Any new push to the main branch will trigger the change and you will be able to see the changes almost immediately!!!

Service creation

Let's create the service from the predefines set of applications,

Let's go with our favourite one - WordPress!!

Once again you get the WordPress application up and running with https!! this is DOPE!!

Let's see the containers that are running:

docker ps

I think this is a really cool project, once it is able to run on Kubernetes, other git providers integrations and remote docker engine support - which I know is already in progress or at least on the roadmap!!

Huge thanks to Andras Bacsai for building this!
