# 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`.
## Deployment Options
The application supports two deployment approaches:
### Option 1: Docker Compose (Recommended)
- **Best for**: Coolify deployments, local development, consistent environments
- **Compose file**: `docker-compose.coolify.yml` in Coolify, `docker-compose.yml` locally
- **Key benefits**:
- Same containerized services locally and in production
- Built-in service orchestration and networking
- Easy volume management for data persistence
- Better debugging and log viewing
### Option 2: Coolify with Nixpacks (Alternative)
- **Best for**: Existing Coolify installations, serverless deployments
- **Key differences**:
- Uses Coolify's Nixpacks build system instead of Docker
- Requires separate services setup in Coolify UI
- Manual environment variable configuration per service
This guide covers both Coolify paths. Use **Option 1 (Docker Compose)** for new deployments. Use **Option 2 (Nixpacks)** only if you need separate Coolify services instead of one stack.
This guide covers deploying `ai.allucanget.biz` using [Coolify](https://coolify.io) with Nixpacks from the repository `https://git.allucanget.biz/allucanget/ai.allucanget.biz.git`.
## Architecture Overview
@@ -46,55 +22,6 @@ Coolify's built-in reverse proxy routes traffic:
- Git repository pushed to `https://git.allucanget.biz/allucanget/ai.allucanget.biz.git`
- Domain configured to point to your Coolify server
## Option 1: Deploy with Docker Compose in Coolify
Use Coolify's **Docker Compose** resource with the dedicated compose file `docker-compose.coolify.yml`.
### Step 1: Create Docker Compose Resource
1. In Coolify, click **Add Resource****Deploy a new resource****Docker Compose**
2. Connect your Git repository (`git.allucanget.biz`)
3. Select the `ai.allucanget.biz` repository and `main` branch
4. Set **Compose File** to `docker-compose.coolify.yml`
5. Set **Base Directory** to `/`
6. Select the `frontend` service as the public-facing service on port `12016`
7. Click **Create Resource**
### Step 2: Configure Environment Variables
Add these in Coolify before first deploy:
| Variable | Service | Example |
| -------------------- | ---------- | --------------------------- |
| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | `backend` | `sk-or-v1-...` |
| `JWT_SECRET` | `backend` | `openssl rand -hex 32` |
| `APP_URL` | `backend` | `https://ai.allucanget.biz` |
| `APP_NAME` | `backend` | `All You Can GET AI` |
| `CORS_ORIGINS` | `backend` | `https://ai.allucanget.biz` |
| `FLASK_SECRET_KEY` | `frontend` | `openssl rand -hex 32` |
| `BACKEND_URL` | `frontend` | `http://backend:12015` |
### Step 3: Configure Domain and Proxy
1. Attach domain `ai.allucanget.biz` to the `frontend` service on port `12016`
2. Enable **Auto HTTPS** in Coolify
3. Coolify terminates TLS and forwards traffic directly to `frontend:12016`
No nginx service is needed in the Coolify stack. The frontend Flask app proxies `/api/*` calls to `http://backend:12015` internally. Coolify's own reverse proxy handles external TLS termination.
### Step 4: Persistent Storage
`docker-compose.coolify.yml` uses named volume `app-data` for DuckDB persistence at `/app/data`. No extra host bind mount needed for default setup.
### Step 5: Deploy and Verify
1. Start deployment in Coolify
2. Confirm `backend` becomes healthy
3. Open `https://ai.allucanget.biz/health` or proxied health route configured in Coolify
4. Open main domain and verify frontend loads

> **Note:** Nixpacks will automatically detect and install only the production dependencies from `requirements.txt`.
> **Important:** Nixpacks copies the **contents** of the Base Directory to `/app/` in the container. When Base Directory is `/frontend`, the `frontend/` folder wrapper is removed — only `app/`, `tests/`, and `requirements.txt` are copied. Therefore the start command uses `app.main:app` (not `frontend.app.main:app`).
### 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:12015` (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**: `12015`
- **Path**: `/api/*` → forward to backend
### Frontend Proxy Rules
- **Domain**: `ai.allucanget.biz`
- **Port**: `12016`
- **Path**: `/` → forward to frontend
## 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 healthcheck stays unhealthy
- Check backend logs in Coolify
- Verify `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` and `JWT_SECRET` are set
- Verify volume mount at `/app/data` is writable
### 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:12015`
- 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

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. **CRITICAL: Set Base Directory to `/backend`** — this tells Nixpacks to look in the `backend/` subdirectory for `requirements.txt` and the Python application
7. Set **Ports Exposed** to `12015`
8. Set **Start Command** to:
```txt
uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 12015
```
9. Click **Create Resource**

3. Choose the `main` branch
4. Set **Build Pack** to `nixpacks`
5. **CRITICAL: Set Base Directory to `/frontend`** — this tells Nixpacks to look in the `frontend/` subdirectory for `requirements.txt` and the Python application

When Base Directory is `/frontend`, the `frontend/` folder wrapper is removed — only `app/`, `tests/`, and `requirements.txt` are copied.
