how to install coolify on etc ubuntu？
What is Coolify?
Before we get our hands dirty, let's understand what Coolify is. Coolify is an open-source, self-hostable platform that allows you to deploy your web apps, static sites, and databases directly to your servers. It's like having your own Heroku but with the freedom to control every aspect of the infrastructure.
Why Ubuntu?
Ubuntu is known for its stability and widespread support, making it a favorite among developers for hosting applications. It's also well-documented and easy to use, providing a solid foundation for our Coolify installation.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, ensure you have the following:
- An Ubuntu server (20.04 LTS recommended)
- SSH access to your server
- Basic knowledge of the Linux command line
Step 1: Update Your Server
First things first, let’s make sure your Ubuntu server is up-to-date. Connect to your server via SSH and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
This will fetch the latest versions of the packages and upgrade them.
Step 2: Install Docker
Coolify runs on Docker, so our next step is to install Docker on your Ubuntu server. Execute the following commands:
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common -y
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker-ce -y
To ensure Docker is installed correctly, run:
sudo systemctl status docker
You should see Docker running as a service.
Step 3: Install Docker Compose
Although Coolify uses its own version of Docker Compose, it’s good practice to have the official version installed:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Verify the installation with:
docker-compose --version
Step 4: Install Coolify
Now, we’re ready to install Coolify. Clone the Coolify repository and run the installation script:
git clone https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify.git
cd coolify/scripts
./install.sh
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
Congratulations! You have successfully set up the environment necessary for running Coolify on your Ubuntu server. In the next part, i will cover how to configure Coolify, secure your setup, and deploy your first application.
Stay tuned, and happy deploying!
