Komodo is a programmable, self-hosted PaaS for deploying Docker Compose stacks through API keys. It is an alternative app platform — the Base Kit ships Coolify by default. Choose Komodo when you want API-driven Compose deployments. Komodo is served at komodo.<domain>.

​
Enable Komodo

stack-spec.yaml
stackkit: base-kit

services:
  komodo:
    enabled: true
Komodo, Coolify, and Dokploy are interchangeable app platforms — pick one. See tool alternatives.

​
Steps

1

Open Komodo

Open https://komodo.<domain> and complete the first-run setup.
2

Create an API key

Generate an API key for programmatic stack deployment.
3

Deploy a stack

Define a Compose stack and deploy it through the UI or API.

​
Verify

  • The Komodo UI is reachable at komodo.<domain>.
  • A test stack deploys and its containers report healthy.
