How to install Coolify on a Cloud VPS

Coolify is an open-source, self-hostable Heroku/Netlify alternative that deploys applications, databases and services with a few clicks.

A self-hosted panel gives you full control over your infrastructure, without monthly per-user or per-server subscriptions.

One-click install on cloudlinux.ro

The fastest way: Coolify installs automatically at the first boot of a new server.

1. Create a Cloud VPS from the control panel.
2. In the configuration step, pick Coolify from the app catalog.
3. Start the server. The install runs in the background for a few minutes and its status shows on the server page.
4. Access details and generated passwords are saved on the server in /root/app-credentials.txt. The app will be available on port 8000.

Manual install on any Ubuntu server

If you prefer doing it yourself, below is the exact script our automatic install runs. Execute it as root on a fresh Ubuntu server (24.04 recommended). It stops at the first error, and when it finishes you will find the access details in /root/app-credentials.txt.

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
curl -fsSL https://cdn.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh | bash
IP=$(hostname -I | awk '{print $1}')
printf 'Coolify: http://%s:8000\nCreeaza contul de administrator la prima accesare.\n' "$IP" > /root/app-credentials.txt

You can also save this script as a recipe in your account and reuse it on any new server.
