Coolify
Self-hostable Heroku alternative for your own servers.
About Coolify
Coolify is a free, open-source self-hosting platform that brings Heroku-style convenience to your own VPS or dedicated server. It supports deploying applications from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, managing PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and MongoDB databases, and automatically provisioning SSL certificates via Let's Encrypt. A Docker-based architecture means almost any containerised application can be deployed with a few clicks. Coolify replaces the need for separate Nginx configuration, Certbot setup, and manual deployment scripts. It is the tool of choice for developers who want PaaS-level simplicity on infrastructure they fully own and control, without paying per-seat or per-resource to a managed platform.
