CapRover VS coolify

Finally, I kinda wonder if CapRover is still alive. As I write this it has been over 60 days since there has been any activity on their GitHub.

https://github.com/caprover/caprover https://github.com/caprover/one-click-apps

Looks like Caprover https://github.com/caprover/caprover which has been around for a bit, have used in past. Any notable benefits over it?

CapRover's NGINX doesn't support sticky sessions (see this issue).

All the ways I've found imply dokku or caprover, to run docker for each separate app, Postgres, Redis. It's also so hard to even setup db backups (https://github.com/caprover/caprover/issues/158 https://github.com/caprover/caprover/issues/410).

Or use self-hosting tools like Coolify.

Been using coolify to host my blog + analytics + a couple personal projects for around 6 months.

Good for 1-click installs that “don’t need” a lot of maintenance, like Ghost, Plausible, etc.

Had some issues with spikes in CPU usage (similar case: https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify/issues/3226)

Does anyone have any experience with coolify? https://coolify.io/ I am considering switching the hosting of my online games to it.

Coolify is open-source, self-hosted, free barring server costs, or $10/month for their managed Cloud option. Works with tons of languages, Git (GitHub, GitLab, etc.), and auto-SSL. Deploy on VPS, Raspberry Pi, whatever—supports Docker Swarm, Kubernetes coming. 123,000+ instances, 12,000+ Discord users.

Didn't see Coolify [0] combined with Hetzner mentioned in the article!

Sometimes I ran into "502 Bad Gateway" and 200% CPU load after hitting "Deploy" - while I had other (PHP + MySQL) resources running on my Coolify instance. I asked the Coolify Developer on GitHub and he gave me multiple suggestions.

I have been running Django sites in production under heavy load for over 10 years at my day job. We started with a MySQL database backend but, after running into a few issues, switched to PostgreSQL which has been rock-solid. I tend to use the same stack for side projects. Especially because, initially, most of my projects were hosted on Heroku and they had stellar support for PostgreSQL. Now, having bounced from Heroku to Render to Fly.io to Digital Ocean (with CapRover) to Hetzner (with Coolify), I am re-evaluating my default choice of database.

With the advent of people moving away from serverless and pushing more towards self-hosted solutions around VPS from provided like Hetzner and using deployment tools like Coolify , I’ve been wanting to have a cool monitoring app which not only monitor uptime but also disk space, CPU pressure, memory pressure, networking and more and throw alerts when something looks outside of the allowable thresholds.

Getting started with Coolify is remarkably simple. The self-hosted version is ready on your server in under a minute and is always free with all functionalities included. Here's how to get started (always check coolify.io for the latest installation command):
