# Coolify Deployment Guide
This guide covers deploying `ai.allucanget.biz` using [Coolify](https://coolify.io) from the repository `https://git.allucanget.biz/allucanget/ai.allucanget.biz.git`.
## Architecture Overview
The application consists of two Python services:
| Service | Framework | Port | Description |
| -------- | ----------------- | ---- | ------------------------------------------ |
| Backend | FastAPI + uvicorn | 8000 | REST API, auth, AI generation, DuckDB |
| Frontend | Flask + gunicorn | 5000 | SSR web UI, session auth, proxy to backend |
Coolify's built-in reverse proxy routes traffic:
- `/api/*` → Backend (port 8000)
- `/` → Frontend (port 5000)
## Prerequisites
- A Coolify instance (self-hosted or Cloud)
- Git repository pushed to `https://git.allucanget.biz/allucanget/ai.allucanget.biz.git`
- Domain configured to point to your Coolify server
## Step 1: Create Backend Service
1. In Coolify, click **Add Resource****Deploy a new resource****Git**
2. Connect your Git repository (`git.allucanget.biz`)
3. Select the `ai.allucanget.biz` repository
4. Choose the `main` branch
5. Set **Build Pack** to `nixpacks`
6. Set **Base Directory** to `/backend`
7. Set **Ports Exposed** to `8000`
8. Set **Start Command** to:
```txt
uvicorn backend.app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
```
9. Click **Create Resource**
### Backend Environment Variables
Add these as **Runtime** environment variables in Coolify:
| Variable | Description | Example |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | OpenRouter API key for AI generation | `sk-or-v1-...` |
| `JWT_SECRET` | Secret key for JWT token signing | Generate with `openssl rand -hex 32` |
| `APP_URL` | Public URL of the backend | `https://api.ai.allucanget.biz` |
| `APP_NAME` | Application name | `AI Allucanget` |
| `CORS_ORIGINS` | Comma-separated allowed origins | `https://ai.allucanget.biz` |
## Step 2: Create Frontend Service
1. In Coolify, click **Add Resource** → **Deploy a new resource** → **Git**
2. Select the same repository
3. Choose the `main` branch
4. Set **Build Pack** to `nixpacks`
5. Set **Base Directory** to `/frontend`
6. Set **Ports Exposed** to `5000`
7. Set **Start Command** to:
```txt
gunicorn frontend.app.main:app --bind 0.0.0.0:5000 --workers 2 --timeout 120
```
8. Click **Create Resource**
### Frontend Environment Variables
Add these as **Runtime** environment variables in Coolify:
| Variable | Description | Example |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `FLASK_SECRET_KEY` | Flask session cookie signing key | Generate with `openssl rand -hex 32` |
| `BACKEND_URL` | Internal URL to reach the backend service | `http://localhost:8000` (or use Coolify's internal networking) |
## Step 3: Configure Reverse Proxy
Coolify provides a built-in reverse proxy. Configure routing rules:
### Backend Proxy Rules
- **Domain**: `api.ai.allucanget.biz` (or subdomain of your choice)
- **Port**: `8000`
- **Path**: `/api/*` → forward to backend
### Frontend Proxy Rules
- **Domain**: `ai.allucanget.biz`
- **Port**: `5000`
- **Path**: `/` → forward to frontend
### Nginx Configuration (Optional)
If you need custom Nginx configuration, create `nginx/coolify.conf`:
```nginx
# Reverse proxy configuration for Coolify
# This file is for reference — Coolify's built-in proxy handles routing
# Backend API proxy
location /api/ {
proxy_pass http://backend:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
# Frontend proxy
location / {
proxy_pass http://frontend:5000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
```
## Step 4: SSL/TLS
Enable HTTPS in Coolify for both services:
1. Go to each service's settings
2. Enable **Auto HTTPS** (Let's Encrypt)
3. Configure domain names
4. Coolify automatically handles certificate renewal
## Step 5: Persistent Storage (Optional)
If you want to persist DuckDB data:
1. In Coolify, go to the **Backend** service
2. Navigate to **Persistent Storage**
3. Add a volume mount:
- **Host Path**: `/data` (or any path on the host)
- **Container Path**: `/app/data`
- **Type**: `Bind Mount` or `Volume`
## Troubleshooting
### Backend won't start
- Check that `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is set
- Verify `JWT_SECRET` is a sufficiently long random string
- Check logs in Coolify's **Logs** tab
### Frontend can't reach backend
- Ensure `BACKEND_URL` points to the correct internal URL
- If both services are on the same Coolify server, use `http://localhost:8000`
- Check that the backend service is running and healthy
### CORS errors
- Set `CORS_ORIGINS` to include your frontend domain
- Example: `https://ai.allucanget.biz`
### Nixpacks build fails
- Verify the base directory is correct (`/backend` or `/frontend`)
- Check that `requirements.txt` exists in the base directory
- Review build logs in Coolify
## Environment Variable Summary
All required environment variables:
| Variable | Service | Required |
| -------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------- |
| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | Backend | Yes |
| `JWT_SECRET` | Backend | Yes |
| `APP_URL` | Backend | Yes |
| `APP_NAME` | Backend | No (defaults to "AI Allucanget") |
| `CORS_ORIGINS` | Backend | Yes |
| `FLASK_SECRET_KEY` | Frontend | Yes |
| `BACKEND_URL` | Frontend | Yes |
## Deployment Checklist
- [ ] Repository pushed to Git
- [ ] Backend service created with correct base directory (`/backend`)
- [ ] Backend environment variables configured
- [ ] Frontend service created with correct base directory (`/frontend`)
- [ ] Frontend environment variables configured
- [ ] SSL certificates enabled
- [ ] Domain names configured
- [ ] Health checks passing
- [ ] Logs reviewed for errors
## Nixpacks Configuration
The project includes Nixpacks configuration files for both services:
- `nixpacks.toml` — Shared configuration (Python version, packages)
- `backend/nixpacks.toml` — Backend-specific (uvicorn, port 8000)
- `frontend/nixpacks.toml` — Frontend-specific (gunicorn, port 5000)
Nixpacks automatically detects Python projects and installs dependencies from `requirements.txt`. No additional configuration is needed for basic deployments.
