Coolify

Coolify turns your server into an open-source & self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative.

You can install Coolify via the Hetzner Cloud Console or the Hetzner Cloud API.

Getting Started

Create your server as usual using the Hetzner Cloud Console. As an alternative to the operating system, you can choose an app that you would like to have pre-installed.

Coolify will then be preinstalled on the server, but it will not yet be activated.

To activate Coolify, please log in to your server:

• Use an SSH key if you were provided one when you created your server.
• Use the root-password which we sent to you via email when you created your server; use this if you did not get an SSH key.

This will activate Coolify and display the URL of the administration interface.

Hetzner Cloud API

Instead of using the Hetzner Cloud Console, you can use the Hetzner Cloud API to set up a server with Coolify.

• For example, via a curl command from the command line:

  curl \
     -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"name":"my-coolify-server", "server_type":"cpx11", "image":"coolify"}' \
     'https://api.hetzner.cloud/v1/servers'

• Or via hcloud-cli

  hcloud server create --name my-coolify-server --type cpx11 --image coolify
