Coolify Instance Updates - Self-hosted

Tip

The update settings are only available for self-hosted Coolify instances. For cloud versions, the Coolify Team manages all updates.

Update Settings

You can configure your Coolify instance’s update settings on the Settings page under the Update section.

There are two main update configurations:

1. Update Check Frequency

   • Controls how often Coolify checks for:
     • New Coolify versions
     • New Service Templates from CDN
   • Default: Every hour
   • Uses cron syntax

2. Auto Update Frequency

   • Controls when Coolify automatically installs updates
   • Default: Daily at midnight (00:00)
   • Uses cron syntax

Auto Update Toggle

• By default, Auto Update Enabled is turned on for self-hosted instances
• You can disable automatic updates which is recommended for production instances. Please note that disabling Auto Update Enabled will not disable the update check frequency as updates should be checked periodically.
• If you disable Auto Update Enabled, you can still manually update Coolify by clicking the Update button once a new version is available.

Configuring Update Schedules

Both update frequencies use cron syntax for scheduling. For detailed information about the supported cron syntax, please see our cron syntax guide.
