Important notes

Minimum is official (current install docs: 2 CPU cores / 2 GB RAM / 10 GB free disk; docs add Coolify can run on smaller servers but this is not recommended). Note discrepancy: the older v3 requirements page (docs.coollabs.io/coolify/v3/requirements) states 30+ GB of storage; the current install docs (10 GB) were used. Official docs give no separate recommended spec for Coolify itself (needs depend on hosted workloads and same-server builds), so recommended values are estimates. GitHub stars 63596 on 2026-10-24.
