Your self-hosted PaaS, fully managed. Deploy, secure, back up — one command at a time.

Most self-hosted servers break because:
Stop babysitting your servers. Quicklify was built to fix that.
# Interactive mode — no commands to memorize
npx quicklify
Running quicklify without any arguments launches an interactive menu where you can browse all available actions by category, pick what you need with arrow keys, and configure options step by step — no need to remember any command names or flags.

Server Management
❯ Deploy a new server
Add an existing server
List all servers
Check server status
...
Security
Harden SSH & fail2ban
Manage firewall (UFW)
...
Each action includes sub-options (server mode, template, log source, port number, etc.) and a ← Back option to return to the main menu at any point.
If you already know the commands, you can still use them directly:
quicklify init # Deploy a new server
quicklify status my-server # Check server status
quicklify backup --all # Backup all servers
Quicklify handles server provisioning, SSH key setup, firewall configuration, and platform installation automatically.
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Broke your server with an update? | Pre-update snapshot protection via maintain |
| No idea if your server is healthy? | Built-in monitoring, health checks, and doctor diagnostics |
| Security is an afterthought? | Firewall, SSH hardening, SSL, and security audits built-in |
| Backups? Maybe someday... | One-command backup & restore with manifest tracking |
| Managing multiple servers? | --all flag across backup, maintain, status, and health |
| Existing server not tracked? | quicklify add brings any server under management |
| Don't want to memorize commands? | Just run quicklify — interactive menu guides you |

Requires Node.js 20 or later.
Server creation fails?
Run quicklify doctor --check-tokens to verify your API token and local environment.
Coolify not responding?
Use quicklify status my-server --autostart to check and auto-restart if needed.
Need to start fresh?
quicklify destroy my-server removes the cloud server entirely.
