First Deployment

Prerequisites

Before running provision:

1. Push your code to a Git repository (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
2. Create an SSH deploy key or GitHub App in Coolify
3. Have a server connected to your Coolify instance

Run Provision

php artisan coolify:provision

The command will prompt for:

• Server selection
• Project name
• Repository URL
• Branch name
• Deploy key selection

What Gets Created

Resources created:

• Project and environment in Coolify
• Application with Dockerfile configuration
• PostgreSQL database
• Dragonfly Redis instance
• All environment variables

After Provision

The command outputs the application UUID. Use it with other commands:

php artisan coolify:deploy
php artisan coolify:status
php artisan coolify:logs

Trigger Initial Deployment

The provision command sets up infrastructure but doesn’t deploy. Trigger deployment:

php artisan coolify:deploy

Or deploy from Coolify dashboard.
