Coolify runs Openinary straight from the published image. Create a Docker Image resource pointing at:
Then expose port 3000, set the environment variables, and add the volumes. You need a Coolify account with access to a server, and Docker support enabled on that instance.

​
Deployment steps

1

Create the resource

In your project, create a new resource. On the New Resource page, select Docker Image from the Docker Based section, and enter openinary/openinary.No project yet? Create one first, then open its dashboard.
2

Expose port 3000

In the General configuration section, enter 3000 in the Ports Exposes field and click Save.
3

Set environment variables

Go to Environment Variables in the sidebar, switch to Developer View, and add:
For BETTER_AUTH_URL, use the URL Coolify generates in the General tab under Domains.With local file storage, that is all you need. For an S3-compatible bucket, add its configuration too:
See Storage configuration for the details.
4

Add persistent storage

Go to Persistent Storage and add these volume mounts. Without them, the data is lost on every container restart or update.
5

Deploy

Click Deploy and watch the deployment logs to confirm everything starts correctly.
6

Create your admin account

Visit your Coolify-generated URL or custom domain. You land on the initial setup page.
Create the admin account immediately. The setup route is publicly accessible until it is completed.
After signing in, the dashboard shows the sample assets or your bucket content.

​
Troubleshooting

Check the deployment logs in Coolify for error messages, verify every environment variable, and confirm your DNS if you use a custom domain. If problems persist, create an issue on GitHub with your deployment logs.
