Coolify Foundation

Use when porting a self-hosted deploy orchestrator (Coolify, PaaS-style) — a DB-backed deployment queue with admission control, a 5k-line build-pack state machine that drives remote Docker hosts over SSH, rolling updates with health-gated cutover, and cron-dedup scheduled jobs. Source code and direct tests are ground truth; references carry decisive excerpts and graph retrieval.

Coolify: Self-hosted deploy orchestrator foundation

Foundation contract

This is a cold, source-specific foundation, not an operational procedure. It is historical, revision-pinned evidence rather than timeless guidance. Current project source, tests, requirements, and runtime behavior outrank this projection and decide what ships.

Provenance and revision

Source record: coolify; portable upstream identity, license, coverage caveats, and retrieval history are preserved in the index.
Recorded revision: main@981163973b4b33726e378d7dcf9812459efc6f60.
Full provenance, coverage caveats, boundaries, and preserved evidence: references/index.md.

Topic map

Representative topics: Deployment queue admission; Status state machine; Build-pack router; Env var pipeline; Rolling update; Container cleanup; Remote command lifecycle; SSH multiplexing.
Scope and retrieval questions: references/index.md#use-this-for.
Complete capsule chooser: references/index.md#load-the-matching-source-dump.
Detailed grouped map: references/index.md#capsule-map.
Source limitations and portability boundaries: references/index.md#boundaries.

Retrieval

Open the index, choose one capsule matching the active question, and load only that capsule. Revalidate its cited source and revision before relying on it. Do not bulk-load the inventory, treat historical claims as current truth, or apply this foundation as a procedure.
