Launch your stack
One click from your Hetzner account to a server running Coolify, connected to your workspace.
Your stack is one server in your own provider account, running Coolify, connected to your workspace. Every site and service you add runs on it. The first time you open a new workspace you'll see Launch your stack.
Before you startLink to this section: Before you start
- A Hetzner key saved in Integrations. DigitalOcean is in testing.
- A domain on your Cloudflare account, with a Cloudflare key. Coolify's dashboard gets the address
coolify.followed by your domain.

- Choose the provider, a region and a server size. The provider's monthly price is shown.
- Choose the domain from your Cloudflare account, and the email address for Coolify's admin account.
- Approve. The server is a purchase in your account, so it waits for an owner's approval.
What happens nextLink to this section: What happens next
The launch runs as five steps, each shown with its progress:
| Step | What it does |
|---|---|
| SSH key | Adds your workspace's SSH key to your provider account |
| Server with Coolify | Buys the server you approved and installs Coolify on it |
| Coolify address and API token | Finishes setup over SSH, so the token never crosses the internet in clear |
| DNS record for Coolify | Points the Coolify address at the server (approved like every DNS change) |
| Coolify connection | Adds the connection once the HTTPS address answers |
If a step fails, you can retry just that step. A step that already succeeded is never run again, so nothing is bought twice.
Coolify's admin passwordLink to this section: Coolify's admin password
Coolify's admin password is generated during the launch. An owner can reveal it once from the launch page; keep it in your password manager.
After the launchLink to this section: After the launch
Your workspace is now connected to its own Coolify. Next, create a site with AI or add a service.
