I highly recommend Coolify. I evaluated every option when looking for a Heroku alternative, and Coolify is clearly the best as long as you don’t absolutely require zero downtime deploys.
We are hosting over 100 services on it for https://hackclub.com https://hackclub.com and it’s been great. We’re 3 months in now.
The key is to think about it as a GUI on top of Docker, not as a fully managed solution.
It’s one of those PHP apps that’s weirdly reliable. I see lots of other comments recommending Dokku / Dokploy / others. None of those options are nearly as mature as Coolify in my experience.
- huesatbri 2y agoI’ve been using Dokku for 7 years and counting, both professionally and for hobby stuff. It’s a very mature project that has never gotten in the way, and keeps getting better.
- rodolphoarruda 2y agoFYI your clubs directory is down. (at least for me)
- zachlatta 2y agoThank you so much! Will investigate.
- samfundev 2y agoCoolify does support zero downtime deployments, but the documentation isn't live yet: https://github.com/coollabsio/documentation-coolify/blob/64098f4bbc4ee906a66896757d30589c286db702/docs/knowledge-base/rolling-updates.md https://github.com/coollabsio/documentation-coolify/blob/640...
- cromka 2y agoIt seems to be killing all remaining connections, as it just stops old container when new is deemed healthy. So not completely downtime by definition, is it?
- peaklabs-dev 2y agoIt is only Docker Compose that has some limitations, but for all other types of applications it is currently zero downtime, but improvements are planned in this area.
- cromka 1y agoThat’s great to hear
- josegonzalez 2y agoDokku maintainer here. What about Dokku is not as mature as Coolify? Would love to hear your thoughts on how the project falls flat for your use case.
- xrd 2y agoI love dokku (and Jose is amazing!). I would also love to know what's different. The only thing I'm unsure of after reading the comments is that coolify can migrate to another server using a GUI. If that's correct, I don't know how to do it with dokku. But given that it is merely a small, secure and REALLY thoughtful shim over docker, I can imagine doing that myself in a few commands. I absolutely love dokku so I'm biased but willing to learn.
