+description: Set up the coolify-ops workflow for your Coolify instance (interview, personal state, smoke test)
+---
+
+# Setup: coolify-ops
+
+You are the agent running this setup. Interview the user, build their
+personal state, and smoke-test the connection. Work through the sections
+in order. This file assumes only file access and the ability to make HTTP
+requests; it works the same inside gcontext and standalone in any agent.
+
+## 1. Read first
+
+Read the workflow's `index.md` and `steps/index.md` before asking
+anything, so the interview is informed. Skim `runs/example/` to see what
+a correct run looks like.
+
+## 2. Bind the parameter
+
+Ask for `instance-url`: the base URL of the user's Coolify instance, for
+example `https://coolify.example.com`. All API calls go to
+`<instance-url>/api/v1`.
+
+## 3. Map the connection
+
+The workflow needs one connection: the Coolify API, authenticated with a
+bearer token.
+
+- Ask the user for an API token of the instance (created in the Coolify
+  UI under Keys & Tokens, API tokens).
+- Store it as a secret named `COOLIFY_API_KEY` in whatever secret
+  mechanism the environment has (in gcontext: the instance's secrets;
+  standalone: an environment variable or the agent's secret store).
+  Never write the token value into any file of this workflow.
+
+## 4. Generate the personal state
+
+Create these files in the workflow folder (they are the user's own state;
+the template never ships them):
+
+- `overview.md`: the mirror. Start it empty, with exactly these section
+  headings, in this order, and a `Last sync: never` line at the top:
+  `## servers`, `## projects`, `## applications`, `## services`,
+  `## databases`. Step 1 of the first run fills it.
+- `scripts/sync.py`: the sync script. Write it read-only, to this
+  specification:
+  - Takes the instance URL as a command line argument, defaulting to the
+    bound `instance-url` value (bake the bound value into the script as
+    the argument default; that is where it is persisted); reads the
+    token from the
+    `COOLIFY_API_KEY` environment variable and fails with a clear
+    message if the variable is unset.
+  - Calls `GET /servers`, `/projects`, `/applications`, `/services`,
+    `/databases` under `<instance-url>/api/v1` with the header
+    `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Each endpoint returns a bare JSON
+    array of resource objects.
+  - Prints one line per resource in the mirror format
+    `kind | name | uuid | status | domain`, grouped under the five
+    section headings. Print `?` when a resource has no status field
+    (servers and projects have none) and `-` when it has no domain. For
+    applications the domain is the `fqdn` field; services carry domains
+    on their inner applications' `fqdn`; databases have none.
+  - Standard library only, or a common HTTP library if one is already
+    available. No write calls of any kind in this script.
+
+Leave `runs/example/` in place; the user's own runs get their own folders
+next to it, named `<date>-<operation-slug>`.
+
+## 5. Smoke test
+
+First verify the secret is retrievable (the `COOLIFY_API_KEY` variable
+is set and non-empty). Then run the sync script once (read-only). If it
+prints the resource lines, write the first real `overview.md` from its
+output and show the user a short summary of their fleet. If it fails:
+a 401 means the token is wrong, a DNS error or 404 means the URL or the
+`/api/v1` path is wrong. Fix it with the user before declaring setup
+done.
+
+## 6. Never edit the procedure
+
+Setup personalizes state only. Do not edit anything in `steps/`,
+`playbooks/`, or `runs/example/`.

+  Operate a Coolify instance with a synced mirror of what is deployed and

+# coolify-ops
+
+Operations workflow for a Coolify instance. It is a mirror plus playbooks
+loop: a synced map of what is deployed on the instance, and playbooks for
+the operations performed on it again and again. Every run starts with a
+sync, so the mirror never drifts from reality, and every run ends by
+writing what it learned back into the playbooks. The workflow gets better
+the more operations it performs.
+
+## Parameters in practice
+
+- `instance-url`: the base URL of the Coolify instance, bound once at
+  setup. All API calls go to `<instance-url>/api/v1`. The API token that
+  authenticates the calls is stored as a secret during setup, never in
+  these files.
+- Each run additionally starts from one requested operation (redeploy an
+  application, investigate a failing service, change an env var). The
+  operation is a per-run input, recorded in the run's `0-parameters.md`,
+  never bound at setup.
+
+## Run naming
+
+Run folders are named `<date>-<operation-slug>`, for example
+`2026-08-02-redeploy-website`. The date anchors the run in time; the
+operation slug says what the run did. Use the plain ISO date only if a run
+has no single nameable operation.
+
+## Files
+
+- `steps/`: the loop, executed in order on every run. Read
+  `steps/index.md` first.
+- `playbooks/`: one file per recurring operation, written from real runs.
+  Ships with one seed playbook (redeploy an application); grows with use.
+- `runs/`: one folder per run. `runs/example/` is a fabricated
+  demonstration run with fake names; read it before the first real run.
+- `commands/setup.md`: the install interview. Run it once before the
+  first run.
+- `overview.md` (created at setup): the mirror, the synced state of the
+  instance. Not part of the template; every install builds its own.
+
+## Hard rules
+
+- Never delete anything on the instance. No delete endpoints, ever.
+- Ask the user before every operation that changes the instance (deploy,
+  restart, stop, start, env changes). Classify by effect, not by HTTP
+  verb: the Coolify deploy trigger is a GET that writes.
+- Read operations (GET without side effects) need no confirmation.

+# Playbook: redeploy an application
+
+Written from a real run. Improve this file after every run that uses it.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Get the application uuid from `overview.md` (sync first, step 1 of the
+   loop). Confirm the app name and uuid with the user before the call.
+2. Trigger the deploy. It is a GET request, not a POST, even though it is
+   a write operation: `GET /deploy?uuid=<app_uuid>`. Ask the user before
+   this call; it is a write operation against the instance.
+3. The response contains `deployment_uuid`. Keep it; all follow-up goes
+   through it.
+4. Poll `GET /deployments/<deployment_uuid>` until `status` is `finished`
+   or `failed`; every 15 to 30 seconds is enough, and report to the user
+   instead of polling on past 10 minutes. The `logs` field is a
+   JSON-encoded string; parse it and read the `output` field of each
+   entry.
+5. Verify: `GET /applications/<app_uuid>` for status, then an HTTP GET on
+   the app's domain. Expect 200.
+
+## Known behavior
+
+- The deploy trigger is a GET endpoint. Every other write API is usually
+  POST; do not let the verb fool you, it queues a real deployment.
+- A deploy with an unchanged git commit SHA finishes in seconds: Coolify
+  skips the build and reuses the image; only the rolling update runs. A
+  deploy with a new commit takes minutes, not seconds.
+- The logs contain a scary-looking line early on: `Error response from
+  daemon: No such container: <deployment_uuid>`. It is harmless; the
+  helper checks for a leftover container before creating it.
+- The rolling update can warn about an orphan container from the previous
+  deployment. Also harmless; Coolify removes the old container itself
+  right after.
+- App status can stay `running:unknown` even after a successful deploy;
+  the `unknown` part is the health check, not a problem by itself. Verify
+  with an HTTP request to the domain instead.

+# Step 1: sync the mirror
+
+## Purpose
+
+Keep the mirror (`overview.md`) matching the real state of the Coolify
+instance, so every operation starts from trusted facts and drift is
+noticed before it surprises anyone. This step runs first on every run,
+never optional.
+
+## Input
+
+- The saved sync script at `scripts/sync.py`, generated at setup. It
+  takes the instance URL as a command line argument (defaulting to the
+  bound value) and reads the API token from the `COOLIFY_API_KEY`
+  environment variable. If the script or `overview.md` is missing, setup
+  was never run: stop and run `commands/setup.md` first (it contains the
+  full script specification).
+- The current `overview.md` in the workflow folder, the last trusted state.
+
+## Output
+
+`1-sync/results.md` in the run folder: the drift found, one line per
+changed resource, or "no drift" when the mirror already matched. Update
+`overview.md` itself so it matches what the API returned.
+
+The mirror format, one line per resource:
+
+```
+kind | name | uuid | status | domain
+```
+
+Sections: servers, projects, applications, services, databases.
+
+## How to execute
+
+1. Run the saved sync script. It calls, read-only, the Coolify API
+   endpoints `/servers`, `/projects`, `/applications`, `/services`,
+   `/databases` under `<instance-url>/api/v1` with the bearer token, and
+   prints one line per resource in the mirror format.
+2. Diff the output against `overview.md`.
+3. Update `overview.md` so it matches the API output. Keep the "Last
+   sync" date at the top current.
+4. Write the drift summary to `1-sync/results.md` in the run folder and
+   tell the user what changed since the last sync.
+
+Known Coolify API facts:
+
+- The servers and projects endpoints return no status field; the mirror
+  shows `?` there.
+- An application status of `running:unknown` means the health check is
+  unknown, not that the app is broken. Verify with an HTTP request to the
+  app's domain when it matters.
+
+## Done when
+
+`overview.md` matches the live API state, the drift is recorded in
+`1-sync/results.md`, and the user has been told what changed.

+# Step 2: do the operation
+
+## Purpose
+
+Perform the operation this run was started for, using accumulated
+playbook knowledge before investigating from scratch.
+
+## Input
+
+- The requested operation and its target, from `0-parameters.md` in the
+  run folder.
+- The synced mirror (`overview.md`), for names, uuids, statuses, and
+  domains. Never call the API with a uuid that was not confirmed against
+  the mirror.
+- `playbooks/`: the library of procedures from previous runs.
+
+## Output
+
+`2-operate/results.md` in the run folder: what was done, every API call
+made, what the API returned, and what surprised you. When a script was
+generated and is worth keeping, save it next to the results as
+`script.py`.
+
+## How to execute
+
+1. Check `playbooks/` first. If a playbook matches the requested
+   operation, follow it before investigating from scratch.
+2. If no playbook matches, investigate through read-only API calls, then
+   propose the write operations to the user. Keep notes; step 3 turns
+   them into a new playbook.
+3. Confirm the target with the user (name plus uuid from the mirror)
+   before any write call.
+
+## Hard rules
+
+- Never delete anything on the instance. No delete endpoints, ever.
+- Ask the user before every write operation against the API (deploy,
+  restart, stop, start, env changes, anything non-GET). Beware: in the
+  Coolify API some write operations are GET endpoints, for example the
+  deploy trigger `GET /deploy?uuid=<app_uuid>`. Classify by effect, not
+  by verb.
+- Read operations (GET without side effects) need no confirmation.
+
+## Done when
+
+The operation is completed and verified (or explicitly stopped by the
+user), and `2-operate/results.md` records what happened.

+
+## Purpose

+with use.
+
+## Input
+
+- The run folder so far: `0-parameters.md`, `1-sync/results.md`,

+- The playbook that was followed, if any.

+- A written or improved playbook in `playbooks/`.
+
+## How to execute
+
+1. Update the run folder's `index.md` status table: every step's state,

+   returned that was unexpected, and the playbook effect.
+3. Playbooks: if a playbook was followed, improve it with what this run
+   taught. If the operation was investigated from scratch, write a new
+   playbook from what actually happened. Playbooks record lived
+   procedure, not designed procedure.
+

+# Steps
+
+## Starting a run
+
+When the user requests an operation, the agent opens the run before step
+1: create `runs/<date>-<operation-slug>/`, write `0-parameters.md` (the
+requested operation, its target, who asked, when), and write the run's
+`index.md` with a status table listing the three steps, all pending.
+Update that table as each step finishes. See `runs/example/index.md` for
+the closed-run shape.
+
+## The loop
+
+The loop, executed in order on every run:
+
+1. `1-sync.md`: sync the mirror against the live API, report drift. Always first, never optional.
+2. `2-operate.md`: perform the requested operation, playbooks first.
+3. `3-close.md`: close the run folder, write or improve the playbook.
