When hosting in production, three critical factors are essential:
-
Uptime – Ensuring continuous availability
-
Backups – Securing data against loss
-
Restoration – Quickly recovering from failures
Coolify provides a backup system, but restoration needs improvement. Currently, restoring backups requires recovering everything at once, which is inefficient. A better approach would allow restoring individual resources (like a single database or app) without affecting unrelated services.
Suggested Enhancement:
-
Selective Restoration – Choose specific components (databases, volumes, apps) from a backup
-
Partial Rollback – Recover only what’s needed, minimizing downtime
-
Preview Option – Verify backup contents before restoring
This would make disaster recovery faster and more precise.
