Individual skill
coolify
Use when self-hosting apps and databases with Coolify on a VPS you own — install, first-admin lockdown, Git-to-deploy (Nixpacks/Dockerfile/compose), managed Postgres/Redis, scheduled S3 backups, domains + auto-SSL. NOT a PaaS someone else runs (that is `railway`), NOT sizing/hardening the box (that is `hetzner`), NOT authoring Dockerfiles (that is `docker`).

# Coolify — own-the-box PaaS on your VPS
Coolify is an open-source, self-hostable control plane that turns a plain Linux VPS into a Vercel/Heroku
replacement: Git-to-deploy, managed databases, automatic SSL, scheduled backups — for a flat VPS bill
instead of per-request metering. This skill is operational. It produces the exact install one-liner, the
port matrix, env wiring, a lint-clean compose artifact, and a backup-to-S3 cron with a tested restore.
Coolify 4.x (stable in 2026); v4.1 added Railpack, structured audit logging, and a read-only MCP server.
## Mental model — read this first
1. **Coolify is the control plane, not the box.** It runs *on* a VPS you provisioned elsewhere. Hardware
sizing, the cloud firewall, SSH hardening, OS patching → that is the VPS layer (hetzner /
digitalocean), not this skill. Coolify orchestrates what runs on the box.
2. **You own the data and the uptime now.** No vendor takes nightly snapshots for you. So backups are
