Important Notes:

For production deployment:
- Set DEBUG=False
- Set PROD=True
- Ensure SECRET_KEY is a strong, unique value
- Configure MORE_ALLOWED_HOSTS with your server IPs/domains
Email Configuration:
- DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL and EMAIL_HOST_USER are typically the same
- Ensure EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD is secure and properly configured
Database Configuration:
- When using Docker, DB_HOST should be set to db
- Ensure DB_PASSWORD is strong and secure
Payment Gateway:
- PAYMENT_GATEWAY_API_KEY is required for processing payments
- Keep this key secure and never commit it to version control

Note

In addition to turning Debug=False, you also need to set Prod=True in the env vars

Raw Server Deployments

Coolify using Dockerfile

Coolify supports docker-compose also, but as of writing this, docker compose deployments are unstable, and cause gateway timeout issues due to improper configuration in the proxy.

Using Dockerfile as deployment method is recommended in Coolify.

First of all deploy a Postgres instance on coolify and make it publicly accessible. Obviously set a very long password. Making the db accessible over internet can help you debug from local machine, and also coolify has some issues with resolving internal addresses when put in env vars. Once the db is deployed copy the values for db host, username, pass and port.

Now deploy the actual app via Dockerfile, and set all the environment variables properly.

Some important settings to be performed from coolify GUI

General tab --> Network section --> Port exposes: 8000
Setup the domains, and add them to apt env vars MORE_ALLOWED_HOSTS and PROD
Storages tab --> Add --> Volume mount
- source: a suitable path in your host filesystem
- dest: /data (if you change this, you need to change PROD_FILES_ROOT) To persist static data between deployments, setup a
