Install Docker (10 min)
Configure firewall (5 min)
Install Coolify (10 min)
Total: ~30 minutes + manual work
With Quicklify:

You'll be prompted for:
After deployment (Hetzner ~4 min, DigitalOcean ~6 min):
✅ Deployment Successful!
Server IP: 123.45.67.89
Access Coolify: http://123.45.67.89:8000
Visit the URL, create your admin account, and start deploying!
Important: Port 8000 is publicly accessible after deployment.
Recommended next steps:
For production use, we recommend setting up a domain instead of using the IP address directly.

Pass all options as flags to skip interactive prompts (useful for CI/CD pipelines):
quicklify init \
--provider hetzner \
--token $HETZNER_TOKEN \
--region nbg1 \
--size cax11 \
--name production-coolify
Using environment variables (recommended for CI/CD):
# Set token as environment variable (avoids shell history exposure)
export HETZNER_TOKEN="your-api-token"
# or
export DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN="your-api-token"
# Token is read automatically from env var
quicklify init --provider hetzner --region nbg1 --size cax11 --name my-server
Token resolution order: --token flag > environment variable > interactive prompt.
If some flags are missing, only the missing values will be prompted interactively.
