I am a happy Coolify user and I could say that it is a promising and quite active project with a vivid community. The fact that you can self-host dozens of services using a single VM is a breeze of fresh air.

Furthermore, with just a bunch of dollars you can get a really good VM from Hetzner and host everything there. At the moment I am using Coolify for small Node.js apps as well as using a few more services: - VaultWarden. - Minio as an object storage solution. - Glitchtip as a Sentry alternative.

Essentially, if you are considering privacy and avoid paying a dime to Jeff directly or sideways (most of the PaaS services are built on top of AWS) projects like Coolify, CapRover, Dokku etc are the way to go.
