Coolify

Coolify

Coolify lets you deploy apps directly from GitHub repositories and run them forever. This page explains the basic setup.

Create a GitHub Repository

1. Go to GitHub new repository.
2. Make it **public**.
3. Do not initialize with a `README.md`.
4. Press Create Repository.
5. After that, return to your Coolify instance.

Add a Project in Coolify

1. Go to Coolify Projects.
2. Click Add Project.
3. Enter a name and description.

Add a Resource

1. In your project, go to the Resources tab.
2. Choose New.
3. Select your kind of application (commonly Public Repository).
4. Enter the link to your GitHub repository:

 https://github.com/<username>/<repository>

1. Press Check Repository.
2. If you want quick setup, pick the default settings.
3. Press Continue and Deploy.

Your app will now run continuously.

Environment Variables

• Environment Variables are stored secrets or settings for your project.
• They can be accessed inside your app, for example in Python:

 os.environ.get("MY_SECRET")  

• See also: Coolify Docs

Storage

• Coolify provides a project storage volume.
• Example in Python with TinyDB:

 TinyDB("/storage/cooldowns.json")

Notes

• Do not confuse **Shared Variables** with **Environment Variables**:
  • Shared Variables are global values available across multiple resources.
  • Environment Variables are specific to one app, usually secrets.
