Coolify
Self-hosted platform for deploying sites, databases and apps (alternative to Vercel, Heroku, Netlify).
Managed hosting for clients on a cheap server, with you as the administrator.
Monthly hosting and care plans are steady income. You become responsible for uptime and backups.
Apache-2.0 (LICENSE file read)
Yes under Apache-2.0: can be installed on a client's server and charged for; no enterprise-only directory was seen in the repo root.
Not archived; last push 2026-10-07. Needs your own server(s) reachable over SSH (recommended: one for Coolify plus one or more for workloads) - server cost is separate. Coolify Cloud only hosts the control panel; you still bring servers. No GPU needed.
