Project Description: Coolify
What is the project about?
Coolify is an open-source and self-hostable alternative to cloud platforms like Heroku, Netlify, and Vercel. It's a platform for managing servers, applications, and databases.
What problem does it solve?
It provides the convenience of cloud platforms but allows users to host their applications and data on their own hardware, avoiding vendor lock-in. It simplifies server, application, and database management through SSH.
What are the features of the project?
- Server, application, and database management.
- Supports various hardware (VPS, Bare Metal, Raspberry PIs, etc.).
- Saves configurations to the user's server, allowing continued management even without Coolify (though losing automation features).
What are the technologies used in the project?
- SSH
What are the benefits of the project?
- Open-source and self-hostable: Gives users full control over their infrastructure.
- No vendor lock-in: Users retain control of their configurations and can manage their resources even if they stop using Coolify.
- Ease of use: Provides a cloud-like experience on your own servers.
What are the use cases of the project?
- Hosting web applications.
- Managing databases.
- Running services on personal servers or cloud infrastructure.
- Replacing commercial cloud platforms with a self-managed solution.
