Self-Hosting OMA-AI with Coolify: Complete Guide

OMA-AI runs entirely on open-source software. Here is how to deploy it on a 10 dollar per month VPS with Coolify.

What You Need

VPS: 4GB RAM, 40GB SSD, Ubuntu 22.04 (Hetzner, Contabo, or any provider)
Domain: Point DNS to your VPS
Coolify: Free self-hosted deployment platform

Step 1: Install Coolify

curl -fsSL https://cdn.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh | bash

This installs Docker, Caddy (reverse proxy), and Coolify dashboard.

Step 2: Deploy Supabase

OMA-AI uses Supabase (PostgreSQL + Auth + REST API). Clone the Supabase docker-compose and deploy via Coolify. Note your POSTGRES_PASSWORD and JWT_SECRET.

Step 3: Deploy OMA-AI

Connect your GitHub repo in Coolify:

Framework: Next.js
Build command: npm run build
Port: 3000

Set environment variables:

NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://your-supabase.com
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your-anon-key
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=your-service-key

Step 4: Database Setup

Run the schema from database/schema-production.sql. This creates all tables: mcp_servers, users, api_keys, transactions, x402_nonces.

Step 5: Configure Domain

In Coolify, add your domain and Caddy handles SSL automatically.
