Self-Hosted Production AI Infrastructure: Orchestrating Coolify, Traefik & Docker on VPS

Why Self-Hosting Matters for Modern AI & Portfolios

Cloud vendor lock-in and unpredictable egress billing have made self-hosted VPS architectures increasingly attractive for modern agencies and architects. By pairing Hostinger Enterprise VPS with Coolify and Traefik, we achieve full independence, automatic Let's Encrypt SSL renewal, and sub-100ms response times.

Production Traefik & Docker Blueprint

Dynamic Reverse Proxying: Declarative YAML router configurations mapping domains (like praveenuxui.com and coolify.guideitsol.in) with zero server restart requirements.
Isolated Container Networks: Placing production PHP and Node.js containers in isolated Docker bridge networks while routing traffic securely via proxy labels.
Clean URL Handling: Leveraging Apache mod_rewrite rules alongside Traefik TLS termination to deliver clean, modern REST-like routes.
