Hey, Andras here, founder of Coolify (https://coolify.io). Coolify is an open-source & self-hostable Heroku / Netlify alternative. Lots of features are added day-by-day and I'm open for new ones. Visit our Github (https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify) or our feedback page (https://feedback.coolify.io/) to get more info. A few months ago, I quit my job and started to work on it full-time (best decision I've made). It is not VC funded (said no to 30+ investors - time will let me know if it was a good decision or not ), but funded by the awesome community! <3 Why I'm mentioning this? Because I would like to focus on the functionalities, the community & the users and not the revenue and other boring metrics. I just would like to make a good software, enjoy the process and make people's life easier. I do not want to make millions of dollars f

rom it. If me and my family could live happily, that is totally fine. Let me know if you have an questions. I'm happy to answer them. (Also I'm working on a cloud/managed hosting version of Coolify (https://beta.coolify.io/))
In Ask HN: So you moved off Heroku, where did you go?
Just checking out the repo, is there a summary of whats new in V2? Recent releases have release notes, but the 2.0.0[1] didn't. The phrase "build pack" is a bit loaded in the container space - currently that can refer to either Heroku's Buildpacks (v2a), Cloudfoundry's Buildpacks (v2b), or the new Cloud Native Buildpack[2] initiative (v3). Might be good to rename your feature there (or maybe integrate with CNB?) to reduce any confusion. What do you use for your routing? Seems like haproxy (with some custom generated config), which I think is a great option, though maybe less so for configurability. Overall seems pretty neat. Might be good to add screenshots of functionality to your docs to make it clearer what is supported/what isn't. - [1] https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify/releases/tag/v2.0.0 - [2] https://buildpacks.io/
