Official setup guide
Connect your workload VPS to Coolify Cloud over SSH and review firewall access. Check DNS and port conflicts, deploy a test app, then validate HTTPS and restores before cutover. Cloud dashboard backups do not replace backups of application databases and volumes on your VPS.
Monthly billing: $5 per month includes two connected servers; each additional server adds $3 per month. This planner prices one workload VPS and one Cloud subscription. Server rental, workload backups and taxes are separate. Cloud manages the control plane; you still maintain server security and workloads.

Recommends that independent developers with a VPS consider Coolify for GitHub deployments, HTTPS and Docker service management; server rental is still paid separately.
