# Coolify
**An open-source platform to deploy applications, databases, and services on your own servers.**
Open source & free forever, backed by our [philosophy](https://coolify.io/philosophy).

## What is Coolify?
Coolify is an open-source and self-hostable alternative to Heroku, Netlify, and Vercel. It helps you manage servers, applications, and databases on your own hardware. You only need an SSH connection.
You can use a VPS, a bare-metal server, a Raspberry Pi, or any other server that accepts SSH connections. Coolify gives you the convenience of a cloud platform while you keep control of your infrastructure.
Your configurations stay on your servers. If you stop using Coolify, your running resources continue to work and remain manageable.
## What can Coolify do?
- **Deploy any application:** Build from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea with Nixpacks, Railpack, Dockerfile, Docker Compose, or a prebuilt Docker image.
- **Run databases and services:** Deploy managed databases and more than 300 one-click services with persistent storage and generated credentials.
- **Automate deployments:** Deploy on every Git push, create pull-request previews, call deployment webhooks, and roll back to retained application images.
- **Manage networking:** Configure custom domains, automatic HTTPS certificates, reverse proxies, health checks, and container networks.
- **Operate your infrastructure:** Manage multiple servers, inspect deployment and runtime logs, open container terminals, and monitor resource status.
- **Protect your workloads:** Configure database and storage backups, scheduled tasks, environment variables, secrets, and notifications.
- **Integrate with your workflow:** Manage resources through the dashboard, API, CLI, MCP, and team-based access controls.
## Quick start
Install Coolify on a supported server with one command:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://cdn.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh | bash
```
Read the [installation guide](https://coolify.io/docs/installation) for requirements and detailed instructions. You can also review the [installation script](./scripts/install.sh) before you run it.
## Self-hosted or Cloud
