Deploy with Coolify

Deploy FastReact using Coolify — an open-source, self-hostable PaaS that works like your own Heroku.

What is Coolify?

Coolify is an open-source platform you install on your own VPS. It gives you a beautiful UI to deploy apps, manage databases, and configure domains — without writing infrastructure code.

What You'll Need

  • A VPS with at least 2 GB RAM (Ubuntu 22.04+ recommended)
  • Coolify installed (installation guide)
  • Your FastReact repository on GitHub/GitLab

Cost Estimate

  • VPS (2-4 GB RAM): $12-24/month (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, etc.)
  • Coolify: Free and open source
  • Domain: ~$10-15/year

Total: ~$12-24/month — full control, no per-service pricing

Why Coolify?

  • Full control - Your server, your data
  • One server, many apps - Run FastReact and other projects on one VPS
  • Beautiful UI - No command-line required for deployments
  • Open source - No vendor lock-in, self-hostable
  • Cost-effective - Pay for VPS, not per-app
