CLI for Coolify API

Installation

Install script (recommended)

Linux/macOS

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coollabsio/coolify-cli/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

It will install the CLI in /usr/local/bin/coolify and the configuration file in ~/.config/coolify/config.json

Homebrew (macOS/Linux)

brew install coollabsio/coolify-cli/coolify-cli

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coollabsio/coolify-cli/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

It will install the CLI in %ProgramFiles%\Coolify\coolify.exe and the configuration file in %USERPROFILE%\.config\coolify\config.json

For user installation (no admin rights required):

$env:COOLIFY_USER_INSTALL=1; irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coollabsio/coolify-cli/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

For a specific version:

$env:COOLIFY_VERSION='v1.0.0'; irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coollabsio/coolify-cli/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

Using go install

go install github.com/coollabsio/coolify-cli/coolify@latest

This will install the coolify binary in your $GOPATH/bin directory (usually ~/go/bin). Make sure this directory is in your $PATH.

Using the install script

Getting Started

  1. Get a <token> from your Coolify dashboard (Cloud or self-hosted) at /security/api-tokens

Cloud

  1. Add the token with coolify context set-token cloud <token>

Self-hosted

  1. Add the token with coolify context add -d <context_name> <url> <token>

Replace <context_name> with the name you want to give to the context.

Replace <url> with the fully qualified domain name of your Coolify instance.

Now you can use the CLI with the token you just added.

For LLMs / AI agents

go run ./coolify docs llms

You can change the default context with coolify context use <context_name> or coolify context set-default <context_name>
