# Coolify Setup — CRM System v1.0
Production deployment guide for the **CRM System ** to the Coolify PaaS instance
at `server.media-on.de` (server UUID `lw80w8scs4044gwcw084s00s4` ).
2026-07-25 21:03:46 +02:00
The deploy consists of **three Coolify resources ** in the same project/environment:
2026-06-03 23:52:01 +00:00
1. A **PostgreSQL 16 ** database resource (one-click or Docker image).
2. The **crm-app ** Application (Dockerfile build from a Git repository).
2026-07-25 21:03:46 +02:00
3. The **crm-worker ** Application (same Dockerfile build, different entrypoint).
2026-06-03 23:52:01 +00:00
2026-07-25 21:03:46 +02:00
The resources talk to each other over the internal Docker network. The app
2026-06-03 23:52:01 +00:00
is exposed publicly on `https://crm.media-on.de:443` (Let's Encrypt via Coolify).
2026-07-25 21:03:46 +02:00
The worker is not exposed publicly — it only needs Redis and PostgreSQL access.

## 0. ⚠️ Critical domain-format gotcha
Coolify's per-application **Domain field must contain an explicit port ** in the
URL. If you enter the domain without `:443` , Let's Encrypt certificate issuance
will silently fail and Traefik will not route traffic correctly.
```
✅ https://crm.media-on.de:443
❌ https://crm.media-on.de
❌ crm.media-on.de
```
> The same rule applies in the Coolify API: when calling
> `PATCH /api/v1/applications/{uuid}` you must set
> `{"domains": "https://crm.media-on.de:443"}` (note the `:443` suffix).
> This is a known bug-fix from earlier deployments — never drop the port.
---
## 1. Prerequisites
- Coolify server reachable at `https://server.media-on.de` , API token created
in * Keys & Tokens → API tokens * (Bearer token, scope: `*` ).
- The DNS **A record ** for `crm.media-on.de` points to the public IP of the
Coolify server (Traefik will answer on `:443` and route by `Host` header).
- The CRM source code lives in a **Forgejo repository ** that Coolify can
clone. Suggested location:
`https://forge.media-on.de/leopoldadmin/crm-system` (branch `master` ).
> If the repo does not exist yet, create it and push the project:
> ```bash
> # One-time: create the repo via Forgejo API or UI
> git remote add origin https://leopoldadmin:<TOKEN>@forge.media-on.de/leopoldadmin/crm-system.git
> git push -u origin master
> ```
- You have the **internal host:port ** of the Postgres resource that will be
provisioned in step 2 (Coolify will print it, e.g. `abc123-postgres:5432` ).
---
## 2. Resource A — PostgreSQL 16 database
In the Coolify UI:
1. Go to **Databases → + Add ** .
2. Choose **PostgreSQL 16 ** (Alpine).
3. Configuration:
- **Name**: `crm-postgres`
- **Database name**: `crm_db`
- **User**: `crm_user`
- **Password**: * (generate a strong one — see Secret generation below) *
- **Public accessibility**: **disabled ** (only the crm-app talks to it)
4. Click **Deploy ** and wait for status `running:healthy` .
5. Note the **internal host:port ** Coolify exposes (typically
`<resource-uuid>-postgres:5432` ). You will need it in step 3.
> **Alternative (API):**
> ```bash
> curl -X POST http://server.media-on.de/api/v1/databases \
> -H "Authorization: Bearer $COOLIFY_TOKEN" \
> -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
> -d '{"type":"postgresql","project_uuid":"...","environment_name":"production",
> "server_uuid":"lw80w8scs4044gwcw084s00s4",
> "name":"crm-postgres","postgres_user":"crm_user",
> "postgres_password":"<STRONG_PASSWORD>",
> "postgres_db":"crm_db","is_public":false}'
> ```
---
## 3. Resource B — crm-app (Dockerfile build)
In the Coolify UI:
1. **Projects → + Add Project ** if you don't have one yet (e.g. `CRM` ).
2. **Environment → + Add Environment ** → name: `production` .
3. Inside that environment, * * + Add → Application → Public/Private Repository**.
4. Fill in:
- **Git repository**: `https://forge.media-on.de/leopoldadmin/crm-system`
- **Branch**: `master`
- **Build pack**: `Dockerfile`
- **Dockerfile location**: `Dockerfile` (default, repo root)
- **Port**: `8000`
5. Click **Deploy ** once to let Coolify create the resource (it will fail to
start without environment variables — that's expected).
6. Note the **Application UUID ** (visible in the URL or via
`GET /api/v1/applications` ).
---
## 4. Environment variables (on the crm-app resource)
In **crm-app → Environment Variables ** , set:
| Key | Value | Notes |
|-----|-------|-------|
| `DATABASE_URL` | `postgresql+asyncpg://crm_user:<PW>@<postgres-internal-host>:5432/crm_db` | Use the internal host from step 2 (e.g. `crm-postgres-xyz:5432` ), **not ** `localhost` and **not ** the public DNS. |
| `AUTH_SECRET` | * see secret generation * | **MUST be ≥ 32 chars. ** |
| `CORS_ORIGINS` | `https://crm.media-on.de:443` | Comma-separated, no wildcards, must match the domain where the browser actually loads the SPA. |
| `ENVIRONMENT` | `production` | |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | `INFO` | `DEBUG` only temporarily. |
| `BCRYPT_ROUNDS` | `12` | Aligned with `.env.example` . |
| `JWT_ALGORITHM` | `HS256` | Aligned with `.env.example` . |
| `JWT_EXPIRY_HOURS` | `24` | Aligned with `.env.example` . |
### Secret generation (run once, locally)
``` bash
# AUTH_SECRET (min 32 chars, recommended 48+)
python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(48))"
# POSTGRES_PASSWORD (min 16 chars, recommended 24+)
python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(24))"
```
**Never commit these values. ** Coolify stores them encrypted at rest, but they
are still rendered in the UI to anyone with read access to the environment.
> **Alternative (API — bulk update):**
> ```bash
> curl -X PATCH http://server.media-on.de/api/v1/applications/$APP_UUID/envs/bulk \
> -H "Authorization: Bearer $COOLIFY_TOKEN" \
> -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
> -d '{
> "data": [
> {"key":"DATABASE_URL", "value":"postgresql+asyncpg://crm_user:<PW>@<PG_HOST>:5432/crm_db"},
> {"key":"AUTH_SECRET", "value":"<TOKEN_URLSAFE_48>"},
> {"key":"CORS_ORIGINS", "value":"https://crm.media-on.de:443"},
> {"key":"ENVIRONMENT", "value":"production"},
> {"key":"LOG_LEVEL", "value":"INFO"},
> {"key":"BCRYPT_ROUNDS", "value":"12"},
> {"key":"JWT_ALGORITHM", "value":"HS256"},
> {"key":"JWT_EXPIRY_HOURS", "value":"24"}
> ]
> }'
> ```
---
## 5. Configure the public domain (with port!)
In **crm-app → Domains → + Add Domain ** :
- **Domain**: `https://crm.media-on.de:443`
- ⚠️ **Port `:443` is mandatory. ** See section 0.
- **Let's Encrypt**: **enabled ** (default).
- Click **Save ** . Coolify will issue the certificate and reload Traefik.
> **Alternative (API):**
> ```bash
> curl -X PATCH http://server.media-on.de/api/v1/applications/$APP_UUID \
> -H "Authorization: Bearer $COOLIFY_TOKEN" \
> -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
> -d '{"domains": "https://crm.media-on.de:443"}'
> ```
---
## 6. Healthcheck (Coolify side)
In **crm-app → Advanced → Healthcheck ** :
2026-07-25 21:03:46 +02:00
- **Healthcheck path**: `/api/v1/health`
2026-06-03 23:52:01 +00:00
- **Healthcheck method**: `GET`
- **Healthcheck interval**: `30s`
- **Healthcheck timeout**: `10s`
- **Healthcheck retries**: `3`
- **Healthcheck start period**: `15s`
> The Dockerfile's in-container `HEALTHCHECK` is the source of truth for
> Docker-level health. The Coolify/Traefik healthcheck is what drives
> automatic rollbacks and load-balancer routing. Set both, identically.
---
## 7. Build & deploy
In the Coolify UI: **crm-app → Deployments → Deploy ** .
Watch the build log. The first deploy will:
1. Clone the repo (branch `master` ).
2. Build the multi-stage Dockerfile (≈ 1– 2 min, depending on cache).
3. Start the container. `prestart.sh` runs `alembic upgrade head` against the
Postgres database.
4. Uvicorn binds to `0.0.0.0:8000` and starts serving.
A healthy deploy ends with the container status `running:healthy` .
> **Alternative (API):**
> ```bash
> curl -X POST http://server.media-on.de/api/v1/deploy \
> -H "Authorization: Bearer $COOLIFY_TOKEN" \
> -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
> -d "{\"uuid\":\"$APP_UUID\"}"
> ```
---
## 8. Verification
From anywhere with internet access:
``` bash
# 1. Root health (used by Docker HEALTHCHECK & Coolify healthcheck)
curl -fsSL -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" https://crm.media-on.de:443/health
# → 200
# 2. API v1 health (mounted under the versioned router)
curl -fsSL -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" https://crm.media-on.de:443/api/v1/health
# → 200
# 3. Frontend SPA (served by the static-files mount)
curl -fsSL -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code} %{content_type}\n" \
https://crm.media-on.de:443/index.html
# → 200 text/html
# 4. Interactive API docs
# Open in a browser: https://crm.media-on.de:443/docs
# Register a user via POST /api/v1/auth/register
# Login via POST /api/v1/auth/login → access_token
# Use the token as `Authorization: Bearer <access_token>` on protected routes
```
If any of these return `502` / `503` / `504` :
- Check **crm-app → Logs ** in Coolify (the UI is the only place with full
stdout/stderr, the API does not expose logs).
- Confirm the container is `running:healthy` (not `running:unhealthy` ,
`exited` , or `starting` ).
- Confirm the Postgres resource is `running:healthy` and the
`DATABASE_URL` host matches its internal DNS name.
For full incident response, see [`/a0/.a0/runbook-restore.md` ](../../a0/runbook-restore.md ).
---
## 9. Going forward — redeploys
- **Code change** → push to `master` on Forgejo → **Deployments → Deploy ** in
Coolify. The Dockerfile layer-cache will reuse `pip install -r
requirements.txt` if `requirements.txt` is unchanged.
- **Environment variable change** → edit in Coolify UI (or `PATCH .../envs/bulk`
via API) → **Deploy ** (Coolify does * not * auto-restart on ENV change alone).
- **Domain change** → use the API (`PATCH /api/v1/applications/{uuid}` ) so it
is reproducible; the UI is a fallback only.

## 11. Resource C — crm-worker (Background Worker)
The crm-worker runs the ARQ background worker and scheduler in a separate
container, using the same Docker image as crm-app but with a different
entrypoint (`/app/worker.sh` instead of `/app/prestart.sh` ).
### Setup in Coolify UI
1. In the same project/environment as crm-app, * * + Add → Application →
Public/Private Repository**.
2. Fill in:
- **Git repository**: same as crm-app (`https://forgejo.media-on.de/Leopoldadmin/leocrm.git` )
- **Branch**: `main`
- **Build pack**: `Dockerfile`
- **Dockerfile location**: `Dockerfile` (same image)
- **Port**: `8000` (not used, but Coolify requires a port)
- **Custom Entrypoint**: `/app/worker.sh`
3. Click **Deploy ** once to create the resource.
4. Note the **Application UUID ** .
### Environment variables (on the crm-worker resource)
Set the same variables as crm-app, except:
| Key | Value | Notes |
|-----|-------|-------|
| `DATABASE_URL` | same as crm-app | |
| `REDIS_URL` | same as crm-app | |
| `SECRET_KEY` | same as crm-app | |
| `ENVIRONMENT` | `production` | |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | `INFO` | |
| `STORAGE_PATH` | `/data/storage` | |
No domain is needed — the worker is not publicly accessible.
### Healthcheck (Coolify side)
- **Healthcheck path**: `/api/v1/health` (not used by worker, but Coolify requires one)
- Alternatively, use a custom healthcheck command:
`pgrep -f "arq app.core.worker.WorkerSettings" || exit 1`
### Scaling
To scale the worker horizontally, deploy multiple crm-worker instances.
Cron jobs use a Redis-based distributed lock (`SET NX` with TTL) so only
one replica executes each scheduled job.
