You can host your Palico app on any server that supports Docker. We recommend using Coolify for hosting and setting up CI/CD and Pull Request Preview.

Create Docker-Compose File

You can generate a docker-compose file by running the following command:
npm run selfhost:init
This will generate a docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile at the root of your projects.

Environment Variables

The following environment variables are required to run your Palico app:
# TEMPLATE ENV VARS FOR DOCKER COMPOSE FOR PROD DEPLOYMENT
# ================
DOCKER_COMPOSE_JWT_SECRET="local-secret"
DOCKER_COMPOSE_SERVICE_KEY="eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJyb2xlIjoiYXBpa2V5IiwiaWF0IjoxNzI3OTk1MTg1fQ.7sqVWeiU4LNWRne_OGQb7pd0rZoPbSJ59j-BwaKJfkU"
DOCKER_COMPOSE_STUDIO_USERNAME="admin"
DOCKER_COMPOSE_STUDIO_PASSWORD="password"
DOCKER_COMPOSE_DATABASE_USERNAME="root"
DOCKER_COMPOSE_DATABASE_PASSWORD="root"
DOCKER_COMPOSE_DATABASE_NAME="palicoapp"
DEV_MODE="false"
You MUST replace at least the first 4 environment variables. You can generate a new DOCKER_COMPOSE_JWT_SECRET and DOCKER_COMPOSE_SERVICE_KEY by running the following command:
npm run palico generate secret

Deploy to Coolify

You can deploy your Palico app to Coolify by checking out the Coolify Documentation. You will likely need a https domain to connect to your Palico app hosted on Coolify from your Palico Studio or other clients.
