This guide shows you how to deploy a Wasp application to Coolify, a self-hosted deployment platform that makes managing your infrastructure easy.
Deploying to Coolify involves:
Point your DNS A records to your server IP:
@ (root) → server IP (for myapp.com - client)api → server IP (for api.myapp.com - server)myapp-dbghcr.io/<your-github-username>/myapp-servermyapp-serverhttps://api.<your-domain>main3001ghcr.io/<your-github-username>/myapp-clientmyapp-clienthttps://<your-domain>main8043In the server app, go to Environment Variables and add:
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
DATABASE_URL | The Postgres URL (internal) from step 2 |
JWT_SECRET | Random string at least 32 characters long: <SecretGeneratorBlock /> |
PORT | 3001 |
WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL | https://<your-domain> |
WASP_SERVER_URL | https://api.<your-domain> |
Add any other environment variables your app needs (from .env.server).
