Which part? I have a python code base (https://github.com/nindalf/kindle-highlight-sync) that scrapes read.amazon.com for my book highlights. It then exports the data into markdown files that are imported by my website.
It should in an ideal world but docker is a very leaky abstraction imho and you will run into a number of problems.
It has improved as of newer kernel and docker versions but they were problems (overlayfs/zfs incompatibilities/ uid mapping problems in docker images/ capabilities requested by docker not available in LXC, rootless docker problems,...)
The problem is that SSH is usually the admin interface to the system. You don't want unnecessary moving parts between you and your remote shell access when you need to troubleshoot a half-running system.

All of systemd... and network manager/modem manager/...
I grew up with static configuration files, init scripts, inetd, etc... then grew into Solaris smf, dtrace, zones ... and then Linux implemented systemd. I really miss smf and related tools but systemd is still just meh to me. The implementation feels like a somewhat half-in-each-world brainchild.
I've mistakenly deleted from our mail quarantine multiple times as spam/phishing.
Imho it's wilful négligence toynkeep such a system operating in 2025.
I have (re)installed it recently and I can't find the apps backup. The only backup that seems to run in settings is the coolify instance backup.
Moreover I don't see a way to restore a coolify hosted app from the gui (couldn't find one in the doc too).
The documentation around traefik and caddy is lackink a bit. It seems they want you to expose the coolify server directly on the internet. I prefer to host my services behind a cloudflare tunnel and it was a bit janky to setup.
It's low maintenance and stable and certainly has come a long way since I tried it about 2 years ago but there is still many improvements to make.
The simplest way imho would be to use Windows configuration designer.
It generates a file that automate windows oobe when put on a USB key connected to the pc during setup.
How do you handle backups ?
I recently setup coolify and installed the included WordPress. WordPress was broken by a failed module install, I wanted to restore a backup and didn't find a way to backup only one service/stack.
Compared to simply docker compose isolated in a vm/lxc container it was not a particularly better experience.
I also wanted to use cloudflare tunnels instead of exposing the server on the internet and it seems coolify really prefers to work directly on the internet (lacking reverse proxy doc, ...)
Afaik they do but only for low system ressource usage.
Anecdotally I had my test free instance culled years ago. But later I deployed a minecraft server (higher baseline ram+cpu use than a web server or small app) and they never culled it (3+ years uptime until a friend reminded me of the server and I updated/restarted it)
