Optional: If you need to change Docker’s default IP range:
sudo -E env DOCKER_ADDRESS_POOL_BASE=172.16.0.0/12 DOCKER_ADDRESS_POOL_SIZE=20 bash -c 'curl -fsSL https://cdn.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh | bash'
Accessing Coolify#
After installation, access Coolify at http://your-server-ip:8000 and follow the onboarding instructions to set up your admin account and configure your first server.
