FAQ

Real problems hit while running this stack, kept here rather than buried in a chat log.

The dashboard's domain and everything else won't load​

Likely coolify-proxy (Traefik) itself is down, not Coolify. An SSH tunnel reaches the dashboard directly, bypassing the proxy entirely — no firewall change, nothing exposed publicly. SSH goes through pass-cli's agent, not a local key file:

pass-cli ssh-agent daemon start --vault-name Tech
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=~/.ssh/proton-pass-agent.sock
ssh -L 8000:localhost:8000 debian@<server-ip>

Then open http://localhost:8000 locally.

How do I apply a pending OS package update?​

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

For just one specific package rather than everything pending:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade <package-name>

Most packages here — docker-compose-plugin, containerd.io, the CLI tools — are invoked fresh per command, not long-running daemons, so updating them doesn't restart anything or touch containers already up. Only docker-ce itself (the daemon) restarting would.
