Deployment to Coolify

Prerequisites

• Coolify account and API token
• Gitea repository
• Cloudflare account (for DNS)

Environment Variables

export COOLIFY_TOKEN="your-coolify-api-token"
export GITEA_TOKEN="your-gitea-access-token"
export CLOUDFLARE_TOKEN="your-cloudflare-api-token"
export COOLIFY_API="https://app.coolify.io/api/v1"
export GITEA_API="https://git.startanaicompany.com/api/v1"
export CLOUDFLARE_API="https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4"

Step 1: Generate SSH Deploy Keys

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f /tmp/recruitai_deploy_key -C "coolify-recruitai-deploy" -N ""

Step 2: Create Coolify Project

curl -s -X POST "${COOLIFY_API}/projects" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${COOLIFY_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "RecruitAI",
    "description": "AI Recruitment Site"
  }'

Step 3: Add Deploy Key to Coolify

PRIVATE_KEY=$(cat /tmp/recruitai_deploy_key | jq -R -s .)

curl -s -X POST "${COOLIFY_API}/private-keys" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${COOLIFY_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
    \"name\": \"recruitai-deploy-key\",
    \"description\": \"Deploy key for recruitai repository\",
    \"private_key\": ${PRIVATE_KEY}
  }"

Step 4: Push to Gitea

git remote add origin git@git.startanaicompany.com:username/ai-recruit-site-template.git
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit: AI Recruitment Site"
git push -u origin main

Step 5: Add Deploy Key to Gitea

cat > /tmp/gitea_deploy_key.json << EOF
{
  "title": "Coolify Deploy Key",
  "key": "$(cat /tmp/recruitai_deploy_key.pub)",
  "read_only": true
}
EOF

curl -s -X POST "${GITEA_API}/repos/username/ai-recruit-site-template/keys" \
  -H "Authorization: token ${GITEA_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @/tmp/gitea_deploy_key.json

Step 6: Create Coolify Application

curl -s -X POST "${COOLIFY_API}/applications/public" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${COOLIFY_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "project_uuid": "YOUR_PROJECT_UUID",
    "environment_name": "production",
    "server_uuid": 0,
    "type": "public",
    "source": {
      "type": "git",
      "url": "git@git.startanaicompany.com:username/ai-recruit-site-template",
      "branch": "main",
      "private_key_uuid": "YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_UUID"
    },
    "build_pack": "dockerfile",
    "ports_exposes": "3000",
    "name": "recruitai"
  }'

Step 7: Add Webhook to Gitea

curl -s -X POST "${GITEA_API}/repos/username/ai-recruit-site-template/hooks" \
  -H "Authorization: token ${GITEA_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "gitea",
    "config": {
      "url": "https://app.coolify.io/api/v1/deploy?uuid=YOUR_APP_UUID",
      "content_type": "json",
      "http_method": "GET"
    },
    "events": ["push"],
    "active": true
  }'

Step 8: Configure Cloudflare DNS

curl -s -X POST "${CLOUDFLARE_API}/zones/YOUR_ZONE_ID/dns_records" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CLOUDFLARE_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "CNAME",
    "name": "recruitai",
    "content": "YOUR_COOLIFY_FQDN",
    "ttl": 1,
    "proxied": false
  }'

Step 9: Update Application Domain

curl -s -X PATCH "${COOLIFY_API}/applications/YOUR_APP_UUID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${COOLIFY_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "domains": "http://recruitai.startanaicompany.com"
  }'

Step 10: Deploy
