Ask HN: So you moved off Heroku, where did you go?

CapRover has a huge collection of "One Click Apps" that will deploy hundreds of fully functioning applications for you including dependencies (so for example for WordPress it will spin up both a web and a database container): https://caprover.com/docs/one-click-apps.html

Also I think the way you create different kinds of resources are confusing in Coolify, like what is a "Git Source" or "Destination", all I want is to run my container. It's very different from Herokus/Caps interface and not in a good way.

Also why can't I just deploy from an image? In CapRover I often spin up a container, like `redis-commander` or `wordpress` and then just configure its env vars and volume mounts. In Coolify it seems you have to connect a GitHub repo which is not a desirable workflow for me.

I saw CapRover's one-click-apps and I'm thinking of using a similar solution in case of Coolify.

Resources are defined in this way, because you can connect a lot of things to Coolify, GitHub, GitLab, hosted or self-hosted, later on Gitea and other git sources, and also different destinations, local docker engine, remote docker engine and later on Kubernetes. I will improve the onboarding experience to not feel the first use as a burden. :)

Git based deployment is only required, if you would like to deploy a custom thing, that is currently not supported by Coolify. I'm working on a solution where you can use Docker Hub to deploy images (https://feedback.coolify.io/posts/6/deploy-from-docker-hub).
