Coolify API Skill

Comprehensive management of Coolify deployments, applications, databases, services, and infrastructure via the Coolify API.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user needs to:

• Deploy applications to Coolify
• Manage application lifecycle (start, stop, restart)
• View application logs
• Create and manage databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, etc.)
• Deploy Docker Compose services
• Manage servers and infrastructure
• Configure environment variables
• Trigger and monitor deployments
• Manage GitHub App integrations
• Configure SSH private keys

Prerequisites

1. Coolify API Token — Generate from Coolify dashboard:

- Navigate to Keys & Tokens → API tokens - Create token with appropriate permissions (read, write, deploy) - Set COOLIFY_TOKEN environment variable

1. bash, curl, jq — Required for running bash scripts

1. API Access — Coolify Cloud (app.coolify.io) or self-hosted instance

Common Use Cases

Deploy a New Application

1. List available servers:

   {baseDir}/scripts/coolify servers list

1. Create application:

   {baseDir}/scripts/coolify applications create-public \
     --project-uuid proj-123 \
     --server-uuid server-456 \
     --git-repository "https://github.com/user/repo" \
     --git-branch main \
     --name "My App"

1. Configure environment variables:

   {baseDir}/scripts/coolify applications envs create \
     --uuid <new-app-uuid> \
     --key DATABASE_URL \
     --value "postgres://..." \
     --is-runtime true

1. Deploy:

   {baseDir}/scripts/coolify deploy --uuid <new-app-uuid>

Set Up Database with Backups

1. Create database:

   {baseDir}/scripts/coolify databases create-postgresql \
     --project-uuid proj-123 \
     --server-uuid server-456 \
     --name "production-db"

1. Configure daily backups:

   {baseDir}/scripts/coolify databases backups create \
     --uuid <db-uuid> \
     --frequency "0 2 * * *" \
     --enabled true

1. Trigger manual backup:

   {baseDir}/scripts/coolify databases backups trigger \
     --uuid <db-uuid> \
     --backup-uuid <backup-uuid>

Monitor Application Health

1. Check application status:

   {baseDir}/scripts/coolify applications get --uuid abc-123

1. View recent logs:

   {baseDir}/scripts/coolify applications logs --uuid abc-123

1. List recent deployments:

   {baseDir}/scripts/coolify deployments list-for-app --uuid abc-123

Troubleshooting

"API token not configured"

Cause: COOLIFY_TOKEN environment variable not set.

Solution:

export COOLIFY_TOKEN="your-token-here"

Or configure in OpenClaw config at ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "skills": {
    "entries": {
      "coolify": {
        "apiKey": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

"Rate limit exceeded"

Cause: Too many API requests in a short time.

Solution: The client automatically retries with exponential backoff. Wait for the retry or reduce request frequency.

"Application not found"

Cause: Invalid or non-existent UUID.

Solution:

# List all applications to find correct UUID
{baseDir}/scripts/coolify applications list

"connect ECONNREFUSED"

Cause: Cannot connect to Coolify API.

Solution for self-hosted:

# Set custom API URL
export COOLIFY_API_URL="https://your-coolify.example.com/api/v1"

Solution for cloud: Verify internet connection and that app.coolify.io is accessible.

"Deployment failed"

Cause: Build or deployment error.

Solution:

1. Check deployment logs:

   {baseDir}/scripts/coolify deployments get --uuid deploy-456

1. Check application logs:

   {baseDir}/scripts/coolify applications logs --uuid abc-123

1. Verify environment variables are correct:

   {baseDir}/scripts/coolify applications envs list --uuid abc-123

Node.js Not Found

Cause: Node.js not installed or not in PATH.

Solution:

# macOS (via Homebrew)
brew install node

# Verify installation
node --version

Output Format

All commands return structured JSON:

Success Response

{
  "success": true,
  "data": { ... },
  "count": 42
}

Error Response

{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "type": "APIError",
    "message": "Application not found",
    "hint": "Use 'applications list' to find valid UUIDs"
  }
}

Configuration

Environment Variables

Self-Hosted Coolify

For self-hosted instances, set the API URL:

export COOLIFY_API_URL="https://coolify.example.com/api/v1"
export COOLIFY_TOKEN="your-token-here"

Edge Cases and Best Practices

UUID vs Name

Most commands require UUIDs, not names. Always use list commands first to find UUIDs:

# Bad: Using name (will fail)
{baseDir}/scripts/coolify applications get --uuid "my-app"

# Good: Using UUID
{baseDir}/scripts/coolify applications list  # Find UUID first
{baseDir}/scripts/coolify applications get --uuid abc-123

Force Deployments

Use --force flag carefully as it rebuilds from scratch:

# Normal deployment (uses cache)
{baseDir}/scripts/coolify deploy --uuid abc-123

# Force rebuild (slower, but ensures clean build)
{baseDir}/scripts/coolify deploy --uuid abc-123 --force

Environment Variable Updates

After updating environment variables, restart the application:

# Update env var
{baseDir}/scripts/coolify applications envs update \
  --uuid abc-123 \
  --env-uuid env-456 \
  --value "new-value"

# Restart to apply changes
{baseDir}/scripts/coolify applications restart --uuid abc-123

Backup Frequency

Use cron expressions for backup schedules:

Summary

This skill provides complete access to Coolify's API across:

• Applications — Deployment, lifecycle, logs, environment variables
• Databases — 8 database types, backups, lifecycle management
• Services — Docker Compose orchestration
• Deployments — Trigger, monitor, cancel
• Servers — Infrastructure management and validation
• Projects — Organization and environment management
• Teams — Access control and collaboration
• Security — SSH key management
• GitHub Apps — Repository integration

All operations return structured JSON for easy agent consumption.
