README

Sets up a fresh Laravel app for Coolify deployment.

What this does

Runs php artisan coolify:install which:

• Installs Horizon, Reverb, Telescope, Sanctum (you pick which ones)
• Installs stumason/laravel-coolify for the deployment dashboard
• Publishes nixpacks.toml for Coolify builds
• Adds a /health endpoint
• Switches .env to Postgres and Redis
• Adds a composer run dev script that runs everything concurrently
• Publishes coding standards docs to docs/standards/

If you have COOLIFY_URL and COOLIFY_TOKEN in your .env, it offers to run coolify:provision to create the app on Coolify.

COOLIFY_URL=https://app.coolify.io
COOLIFY_TOKEN=your-api-token

The token needs to be a root-level API token (created by a Coolify admin under Keys & Tokens > API Tokens).

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Laravel 11 or 12
• Fresh Laravel install
