That is true, Coolify supports magic variables to make your life easier by automatically creating values like passwords and URLs, but you are not forced to use them, it is just there to make your life easier, some improvements to the naming and docs for the magic vars are planned.
Those "magic variables" have caused more pain than being helpful.
- Added 8 variables inside docker-compose, only 7 get recognized
- Why my docker-compose works locally and not on Coolify? Oh yeah it has its own network stuff. Then tell me beforehand!
- Error messages like "Oops something is not okay, are you okay?" 0% helpful information, 100% condescending crap
I'm not sure why this software keeps getting recommended. Even in videos like these, the guy admits its not ready yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taJlPG82Ucw&t=3126s
I totally understand, thanks for the feedback. We have a lot of stability improvements planned, especially for deployments (announcement soon).
