Day Planner

Deploy on Coolify

Coolify can deploy Day Planner straight from the repository’s docker-compose.yml, which is written for it: Coolify’s Traefik proxy serves it over HTTPS on your domain.

Create the application

Section titled “Create the application”
  1. In Coolify, open your project and select + New Resource.
  2. Choose Public Repository and enter https://github.com/Deejpotter/day-planner (or your fork).
  3. Set Branch to main, Build Pack to Docker Compose, Base Directory to / and Docker Compose Location to /docker-compose.yml.
  4. Give the app service your domain with the container port, for example https://tasks.example.com:8303. The app listens on 8303; Traefik serves it on 443.

Set the environment variables

Section titled “Set the environment variables”

In the application’s Environment Variables tab, set at least:

Variable Value
POSTGRES_PASSWORD A long random string
BETTER_AUTH_SECRET Output of openssl rand -base64 32
BETTER_AUTH_URL https://tasks.example.com

Add ADMIN_EMAIL and ADMIN_PASSWORD if you want to skip the setup page. Every other setting is in the configuration reference.

Deploy

Section titled “Deploy”

Select Deploy. The first build takes around five minutes. When it finishes, Coolify’s health check calls /api/health, and the container shows as healthy.

If you didn’t set ADMIN_EMAIL, open the application’s Logs, find setup_token=, and open your domain to finish first-run setup.

Automatic deploys

Section titled “Automatic deploys”

Enable Auto Deploy to redeploy on every push to the branch. Database migrations run when the new container starts, before it serves traffic.
