Can I use Infraveil and Coolify together?

Yes, and it's a natural pairing since both already live on your own infrastructure. Coolify handles deploying and hosting your services; Infraveil sits over the top as the authority layer, gating production-changing actions (including anything AI agents do), scoping access to least privilege, and recording everything with rollback. You keep Coolify's self-hosted deploy experience and add governance and audit on top.

Does Infraveil deploy or host my apps like Coolify does?

No. Infraveil is not a deployment platform and does not replace Coolify's build/deploy/host functions. It is the governance and operating layer — it decides what is allowed to change production, requires approval for risky actions, and produces an audit trail. If you need something to deploy and run your apps on your own servers, that's Coolify's job; Infraveil governs the result.

Infraveil vs Coolify: Self-Hosted Deploys vs. Runtime Governance (Often Both)

Q: Is Infraveil a Coolify alternative?

Mostly no — they're complementary. Both run on your own servers, but Coolify is a self-hosted deployment platform (it builds, deploys, and hosts your apps and databases on your infrastructure), while Infraveil is a control plane that governs what is allowed to change production — human-approval gates, least-privilege access, tamper-evident audit, and recovery. Coolify gets your apps running on your box; Infraveil governs and proves what changes them. Many teams run both.

The honest distinction

Most "vs" comparisons pit a hosting platform against Infraveil and the answer is "different layers." Coolify is the interesting case because it also runs on your own servers — so the difference isn't where, it's what each one does.

Coolify is a self-hosted deployment platform — an open, self-hostable way to build, deploy, and host apps and databases on your own infrastructure, the way a managed PaaS would, but on your box. Infraveil is a control plane — it doesn't deploy or host anything; it governs what is allowed to change production: approval gates, least-privilege access, audit, and recovery.

One gets your apps running on your servers. The other decides — and proves — what's allowed to touch them. Those are different layers that sit naturally on top of each other.

What Coolify is great at

Giving you a self-hosted, PaaS-like deploy experience on infrastructure you own.
Replacing a managed host with something you control, without building deploy tooling from scratch.
Running apps, databases, and services on your own servers with a friendly workflow.

If your goal is "deploy and host my stuff on my own box without the managed-platform bill," that's squarely what Coolify is for, and it's good at it.

What Infraveil adds

Deploying on your own servers solves where things run. It doesn't, by itself, answer the operational and safety questions:

Who approved this change to production? Infraveil puts a human-approval gate in front of deploys, migrations, deletes, and config changes.
What can an AI agent actually do here? Agents act through Infraveil with least-privilege access, never raw production credentials, and destructive actions stop at the gate.
Can we prove and undo what happened? Every action lands in a tamper-evident audit trail with a rollback path.

That's the authority and governance layer — the part a deploy tool isn't built to provide.

The pairing

Coolify deploys your apps onto your servers. Infraveil governs what's allowed to change them — and proves it. Same infrastructure, two layers, no conflict.

Running both

Because they already share the same home — your own servers — they compose cleanly. Let Coolify own the deploy-and-host workflow; add Infraveil as the layer that gates production-changing actions, scopes AI agents, and records everything with one-click recovery. You keep the self-hosted deploy experience and gain governance, audit, and a safety net.

This is positioning, not a scorecard — check each project's site for current capabilities. The point: they do different jobs and pair well.

Already self-hosting? Add the governance layer.

Infraveil runs on the same servers your apps already do and puts a human-approval gate, least-privilege access, a tamper-evident audit trail, and one-click recovery over every production-changing action — including everything your AI agents try to do. It doesn't replace your deploy tool; it governs the result.
