Deployment with Coolify?

[mandrasch]

Coolify gained some traction in the selfhosting community, since just one command is needed to install it on a Hetzner Cloud VPS (5€/month) or similiar hosters. There is no additional costs, which is needed in contrast for ploi.io, Forge or similiar server management services.

Currently, I'm using Plausible on Coolify: https://coolify.io/docs/services/plausible/

It would be very cool to have a deployment guide for the standalone version of KokoAnalytics for Coolify as well. 🚀

Here is my current knowledge regarding Coolify, maybe this helps a bit:

Coolify + Nixpacks

Unfortunately, I only managed to write up a guide for SvelteKit + Coolify (NodeJS) based on built-in Nixpacks builder.

There is PHP support in Nixpacks, which basically runs composer install ... as far as I understand https://nixpacks.com/docs/providers/php

There is also Symfony mentioned in Coolify docs for Nixpacks:
https://coolify.io/docs/applications/symfony

BUT I'm not quite sure on how to provision the database automatically with Nixpacks. My current understanding is that Coolify users would need to create the database manually first on Coolify, add .env values, etc. ...

Coolify + Docker Compose

... therefore Docker Compose should be used I suppose, just like in the guide for plausible:

Copy the following file into the input box (with the comments).
https://coolify.io/docs/services/plausible/

Application could be any type of web application. It could be a static site, a NodeJS application, a PHP application, etc.
For complex applications, you can use Docker Compose based deployments or the one-click services.

Coolifys official one click services

There are also "official" one-click-services:
https://coolify.io/docs/services/

Which can be requested here:
https://coolify.io/docs/contribute/service/

Unfortunately my skillset with Docker Compose is very limited, therefore I just wanted to post this here as an entry point.

Cheers and much success with KokoAnalytics standalone!

Thanks @mandrasch - Coolify looks, ahem, cool! Never heard of it until now, but will definitely look into it a bit more.
