Coolify — system requirements

Self-hosted open-source PaaS for deploying and managing applications, databases, and services on your own servers. · website · repository

Minimum RAM

2 GB

“- **Memory (RAM)**: 2 GB”

Scope: Control-plane requirement for running the Coolify server itself (the manager that orchestrates deployments elsewhere), general self-hosted installation (Docker-based, either the quick-install script or manual install) — not the resources needed by the apps Coolify deploys · official source · retrieved 2026-08-16

Minimum CPU cores

2 cores

“- **CPU**: 2 cores”

No official figure published for: recommended RAM, recommended CPU cores

The docs publish one minimum tier plus a single named user's anecdotal production setup ('Andras runs his production apps on a server with: Memory: 8GB ... CPU: 4 cores') under 'Server Resources for Your Projects' — that is one operator's example workload, not a general recommended baseline above the minimum (Defect Class #2), so it is not harvested as ram_rec_mb/cpu_rec_cores.

We publish nothing we can't source. Evidence of the gap.
