Coolify — Deploy the Next.js web app

Source

Coolify pulls from Git. Set up the repo on GitHub/GitLab/Gitea (private OK; Coolify supports deploy keys).

This repo's /web directory is the app root.

Create the application

Coolify → + New Resource → Application → Public Git (or Private with deploy key).
Repository: git@github.com:youruser/ufo.git (whatever you push to)
Branch: main
Base directory: /web ← important, the Next app isn't at the repo root
Build pack: Nixpacks (or Dockerfile if you commit one — Nixpacks is simpler for Next 15)
Port: 3000
Domain: disclosure.top and www.disclosure.top

Environment variables

Set in the application's Environment Variables tab:

# Supabase (from Coolify's Supabase project page)
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://db.disclosure.top
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=<paste-anon-key>
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=<paste-service-role-key>

# Anthropic (the Claude API for the chat agent)
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
ANTHROPIC_CHAT_MODEL=claude-haiku-4-5

# Paths inside the container (we mount the wiki/ + processing/ volumes)
UFO_ROOT=/data/ufo

# Public URL (for magic-link redirects)
NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL=https://disclosure.top

Volume mounts — the wiki data

The Next.js app reads markdown directly from /Users/guto/ufo/{wiki,processing,raw}. On the VPS, mount the data dir into the container at /data/ufo.

In Coolify app → Storages:

Source (host)	Target (container)	Mode
`/data/ufo/wiki`	`/data/ufo/wiki`	read-only
`/data/ufo/processing`	`/data/ufo/processing`	read-only
`/data/ufo/raw`	`/data/ufo/raw`	read-only

How to populate these on the VPS first time:

# On your laptop, after pipeline finishes:
rsync -avz --progress \
  /Users/guto/ufo/wiki/ \
  /Users/guto/ufo/processing/ \
  /Users/guto/ufo/raw/ \
  root@<vps-ip>:/data/ufo/

Subsequent updates: just re-rsync. The container reads live (with Next.js page revalidation set appropriately).

Deploy

Coolify pulls the repo, runs npm install && npm run build, then npm run start on port 3000.

First deploy ~5 min. Subsequent (cached layer) ~1 min.

Verify

curl https://disclosure.top/api/documents | head -c 300
# → {"documents":[{"doc_id":"doc-059uap00011",...

Continuous deploy

Coolify can listen to a Git webhook so every push to main triggers a rebuild. Set in Application → Webhooks.
