Tired of paying crazy per-seat fees to managed platforms like Heroku or Vercel? You can host your own alternative for a fraction of the cost. Coolify is a brilliant, open-source dashboard that sits on top of your Linux VPS. It lets you connect your GitHub repository and automatically deploys your Next.js, Node, Python, or Docker apps with a single click. It even provisions your databases and sets up free SSL certificates for you!

​
What You Need

  • A FlashRDP VPS running Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04.
  • A clean server. (Do not install Coolify on a server that is already running Nginx, Apache, or other web servers).
  • We recommend at least the Silver plan (4GB RAM) for smooth builds.

​
How to Install Coolify

Log into your FlashRDP server via SSH as the root user and run the official installation script: 
curl -fsSL https://cdn.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh | bash
The script will automatically install Docker, set up the necessary containers, and configure the Coolify dashboard. It usually takes about 5 minutes.

​
Accessing the Dashboard

When the script finishes, it will give you a URL (usually http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8000). Open that in your browser. You’ll be prompted to create your first admin account. From there, you can connect your GitHub account, spin up a PostgreSQL database, and start deploying apps just like you would on Vercel - except you’re in total control of the hardware!
