I’ve been thinking about moving to Coolify from Dokku. Dokku does work, but it’s a one-man project and pretty rough around the edges.

Hi @soyjeansoy, how are you? I hope you’re doing great. From my experience with Kamal and Coolify, if you need more control over deployments to scale, use Kamal. I think Coolify is a great tool, but I haven’t looked much into how to have full control over multiple machines inside a container.

Personally, I prefer Coolify for MVPs and quick testing—and then worry about scaling later.

did you create your database in the service your elixir app exists too?

after that in Postgres you have this field Postgres URL (internal) copy it

postgres://postgres:...@...:5432/postgres

and go to your source code environment-variables and add DATABASE_URL. as you see the value should be this! consider i just change the postgres with ecto

ecto://postgres:...@...:5432/postgres
