🧱 Infrastructure Setup (Coolify + Layer7)

This project is deployed on a VPS (8 vCPU / 24 vGB RAM) using:

• 🧊 Coolify: a self-hosted PaaS (like Heroku UI) to manage apps, Docker, environment, and volumes — no terminal needed
• 🌐 Layer7: DNS + SSL + proxy management (acts like a user-friendly Traefik/Cloudflare layer)

You can look at it's like VPS + hesiaCP or cPanel

📦 VPS Specs

• CPU: 8 vCPU
• RAM: 24 vGB
• OS: Debian 6.1 (kernel 6.1.0-13-amd64)
• DNS Provider: Layer7 (reverse proxy / dashboard access via vps.yourdomain.com)

🚀 Coolify Setup

Coolify gives you a full UI-based experience to deploy and manage containers without typing terminal commands.

To install Coolify:

curl -fsSL https://cdn.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh | bash
docker start coolify-proxy

Then visit:

https://vps.yourdomain.com

If it's not working you need to login (193.24... it's a VPS IP)

http://193.24.210.188:8000/

This opens the Coolify dashboard (secured by Layer7)
→ From there you can deploy frontend/backend containers with Docker, set up environment variables, auto-restart, persistent volumes, and more.
