Apps & Tools deployed :

Coolify logo

Coolify

A self-hosted alternative to Vercel or Netlify, providing an all-in-one platform for deploying and managing web applications.
It allows me to deploy my projects in seconds, with automated SSL and seamless Git integration.

Docker Registry logo

Docker Registry

A Docker registry is a system for storing and distributing Docker images.
Building Docker images directly on my VPS with Coolify caused crashes and downtime due to high CPU usage. I resolved this issue by using GitHub Actions to build the images and push them to my registry.

Grafana logo

Grafana

An open-source platform for monitoring and observability.
It allows me to monitor my VPS and the containers deployed on it, providing real-time metrics and visualizations for system performance.
