Coolify

With Coolify, you get a self-hosted deployment and server-management platform that lives on your own server, under your rules. It is a practical pick for homelab users and teams who prefer owning their tools over renting them.

The project is developed in the open via GitHub, where it has earned 61.7K stars from the community. Repository activity was last recorded on Sep 12, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.

Before you switch

Deployment tools ask for broad server access, so install them on a machine you can rebuild. Start with a non-critical app, learn the rollback path, and document your setup. The payoff is large: one-command deploys and previews without a platform bill.

Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Coolify is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
