Coolify: STOP PAYING for VERCEL & SUPABASE with this NEW, FREE & SELF-HOSTED Alternative

In this video, I'll be telling you how to install Coolify which is a new and free alternative to Vercel, Netlify & Heroku. This tool allows you to stop paying for Vercel, Supabase and other such providers. It works with NextJS, SvelteKit, Angular, Vue and other such frameworks.

[Key Takeaways]
💸 Vercel can get pricey, especially for larger sites, and lacks control over costs, making it a costly option for many developers.
📈 Self-hosting with Coolify can save up to 90% of deployment costs, making it a more affordable option.
🎉 Coolify is an open-source alternative to Vercel that allows for self-hosting on a VPS server or locally.
📊 Coolify offers features like Git integration, SSL certificate management, and DB backups, making it a comprehensive deployment platform.
🚀 Coolify is compatible with multiple languages and allows for easy deployment of databases and extensions.
👍 Self-hosting with Coolify provides full control over code and data, and allows for customization and flexibility.
📈 Coolify offers a free tier, and even paid plans are more affordable than Vercel's pro plan.
📊 Coolify provides analytical tools to help manage servers more efficiently.
👍 Coolify is a better option for advanced configuration and customization compared to Vercel.

This is exactly what I was looking for. There is, surprisingly, no easy way to have a personal project automatically deployed to your own infrastructure. This changes this

[@amynagtegaal6941]

Sidenote about supabase... It's entirely free (as in freedom AND price) and opensource... You only pay for their own hosted instance... If you have a host that is more affordable than supabase then you could host that instance entirely for free.. if you have a good internet connection at home you could even host it on an old device that you no longer use and use a TCP Tunnel if you really need to

I am going to subscribe to you not just because of your awesome content but your calming voice.

[@clint9344]

You know when the Gentle mellow voice shows up like a "voice of an angel" your gonna get something that benefits us all. Keep up the Great work.. This will save me a bundle and make it much easier to manage my sites. AWESOME....

[@AICodeKing]

Thank you, buddy!

[@Atulnavadiya]

lol. I almost fell asleep!!

[@wadejohnson4542]

Man oh man! I have been looking for this for so long. THANK YOU.

[@RedOkamiDev]

Man.. I clicked so fast on this link... i didn't know I needed this so bad.

[@AICodeKing]

Thanks. I like your profile pic btw.

[@HikaruAkitsuki]

This is the most promising self host server I ever see. I gonna use it on my next project.

[@boscanalexandru9345]

Nice, il give it a shot. I was looking for a more nicer and vercel looking alternative for caprover. Thanks a lot!

[@RickySupriyadi]

after this video now i may not call my self poorly thought coder....now i may call my...self shrimp coder (because I just know I'm living under the rock) as a shrimp 🦐 i really want to learn this... Please King cover some more video i depth for some of its feature. ~sorry multiple edit I'm also dyslexic

[@m12652]

Great stuff... and the voice is fine 👍 How about some more detail please...

[@ustav_o]

never seen this and im completely in love with it. will be sure trying that out

[@Suhaybkaofficial]

You got a new subscriber ❤🎉

[@lendo182]

Okay, that is awesome!! Thank you!

[@arianetrek7049]

Blows my mind!

[@silkodyssey]

Definitely going to try this!

[@bnssoftware3292]

Does this support deploying the static assets to S3/CloudFront while keeping the server side stuff on the server, like vercel does?

[@AICodeKing]

Yes, you can set that up.

[@meilyn22]

Great video!

[@Family_Guy_12]

keep up ❤

[@mishanya1162]

Understood literally nothing, but sounds cool

[@kajubarfi]

nice idea

[@wchorski]

So if I understand correctly, this 1. grabs repo, builds container, deploys to server? 2. connects domain like a reverse proxy? 3. separate staging / production states per project?

[@AneudysAmparo]

I think so, looks interesting to me

[@AICodeKing]

Yes, it makes a docker container and deploys the application through it. Also, it uses Nixpack for deployment.

[@jannickpedersen4620]

​@@AICodeKingthat sounds like Railway App 😆

[@Cloudvenus666]

This is epic, thank you

[@matrixcoderdev]

Wow Coolify is Awesome ❤❤

[@mdfaizanalam4307]

Great information

[@gboyegaolusanya1445]

Awesome!

[@ZweAungNaing]

It is really worth it subscribe

[@KhaldounSenjab]

Good advice

[@fkxfkx]

Now. Free lunch is served. Now.

[@bl4ckswordsman]

Great stuff! A question. I know Vercel's free tier gives you a free subdomain. Since Coolify's free tier is self-hosted, it means I need to purchase a domain separately, right?

[@AICodeKing]

It automatically generates a SSLIP domain. but, you can't customize it. You can maybe integrate it with something like Freenom to add a custom domain,

[@HueTo-ox2kv]

Cool! But some feature not enough. Login cannot work with private registry login....

[@nickdeluca6914]

Im really on the fence about self hosted server, on one hand it can be cheaper in the long run especially at scale, on the other hand it imposes a lot of security risks and conflicts with your ISP/personal network. A dedicated vps might be the way to go, just worried about acruing costs at scale, idk why cloud scares me so much, i really dont trust these cloud prividers to not eat me wallet.

[@TonyLiTF]

Like this video! I would like to know how does the app scale, does it only allow scaling up the vm hosting coolify or is there any way to scale out?

[@AICodeKing]

You can set it up with something like AWS Amplify if you want to have better scaling.

[@ethical-not-evil]

idk about nextjs but vercel didn't create sveltekit and mostly the same with nextjs they may contributed to these project but not the authors.

[@AICodeKing]

The title of the NextJS site reads "NextJS by Vercel". Which means, It's made by Vercel. Secondly, Although, Svelte wasn't authored by Vercel. The Main author and Founder of Svelte was later taken on the pay scale of Vercel. Hence, It's also majorly contributed by Vercel. The point still remains the same.

[@AlessioDiasparra-lx4ns]

Hi AICodeking, thank you for your content. One question : if I have an M2 and I am creating a ubuntu or fedora container to run coolify how to do it? I am experiencing several problems

[@AICodeKing]

Are you trying to deploy it in a docker container?

[@AlessioDiasparra-lx4ns]

​@@AICodeKingI have a Mac I'm trying to run it locally on a linux container on Docker because it can only be installed on Linux. How can I run it locally without having to buy a VPS first?

[@Family_Guy_12]

thanks

[@simarpreetsingh6604]

Hi. Vecel allows to deploy my websites over there? Can I deploy my websites similarly on Coolify as well? Or do I need to bring my own server inside Coolify?

[@AICodeKing]

If you take their Server then you can. Otherwise you'll need to bring your own server

[@gregmaina7964]

First, thank you for the insight. Secondly. I have questions, Lets talk about the production environment. I personally rely, a little too much on ruby on rails. You said that the app can handle multiple languages, any specific tips for back end api systems that need both ruby and rails plus security? I know, very wordy but this is so crutial.

[@AICodeKing]

I'm personally don't use Ruby that often. But, you can deploy your ruby on rails application through coolify by using a dockerfile instead.

[@gregmaina7964]

@@AICodeKing Thank you let me try this out.

[@settlece]

King

[@suraj_sh]

Can i deploy my node server in it ? Like earlier I was using render, but it said that for free tiers they don't give persistent disk storage, and i needed that because my website has upload and fetch images functionalities and i didn't want to use any other storage options for that it's just gonna make it complex for now. So coolify has that ??

[@AICodeKing]

Yes, it does.

[@suraj_sh]

@@AICodeKing ok thanks 👍

[@dreamwork4359]

Hi i like video. Does it works with digital ocean?

[@AneudysAmparo]

I think so

[@AICodeKing]

Yes

[@cariyaputta]

Vercel is just an AWS wrapper.

[@ahmedsalim5552]

using it already then saw this video

[@AdolfRizzler41]

I will wait at least 3,4 month before using this in production

[@historichacker2013]

but this dosent auto scale like vercel.

[@AICodeKing]

Yes and the cost also doesn't. I hope you saw the recent $96,280 bill.

[@historichacker2013]

what im saying is it really good but its nothing to do with serverless like vervell

[@benasmockus6988]

@@historichacker2013serverless is just someone else server.

[@rakithatharupathi4628]

is it free ?

Yes
