Architecture Comparison
Coolify deploys your apps.So does SecuryBlack, and it also secures and watches your VPS.
Coolify is great for deploying containers on your server. SecuryBlack started from security: auditing, encrypted backups, heartbeats and monitoring from a managed dashboard. And it now deploys your apps from GitHub, in beta.
Side-by-side: Real Differences
Breaking down architecture, resource consumption, and specific operational focus.
Coolify
Core Purpose
Git Deployments / Self-hosted PaaS
Agent Resource Footprint
If you host the panel yourself, it runs on your server with its database
Internal Security Auditing
No (Docker-centric only)
Guided Remediation Commands
No
Cron & Backup Heartbeats
Not included
Hosting Model
Self-hosted on your own server
Standard OpenTelemetry Telemetry
Own agent (Sentinel)
SecuryBlack
Core Purpose
Security, backups and monitoring, with GitHub deploys (beta)
Agent Resource Footprint
Light: OxiPulse uses under 15 MB of RAM and under 1% CPU (measured)
Internal Security Auditing
Yes (SSH, firewall, ports, patches, permissions, file integrity and processes)
Guided Remediation Commands
Yes (exact command provided to fix every finding)
Cron & Backup Heartbeats
Yes (alerts when your backup fails silently)
Hosting Model
Managed Cloud Panel + Open Source Agents
Standard OpenTelemetry Telemetry
Native (standard OTLP with zero vendor lock-in)
Can they run together on the same VPS?
Yes. You can use Coolify to run your containers and keep SecuryBlack (OxiPulse + FerroSentry) running in the background to ensure Docker doesn't bypass UFW firewall rules, track real host metrics, and verify nightly backups complete on time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does SecuryBlack use so few resources?
Our agents OxiPulse and FerroSentry are compiled in native Rust with no Node or Python runtime overhead. They ship as a single binary. OxiPulse, the metrics agent, uses under 15 MB of RAM in our measurements.
Does SecuryBlack replace Coolify?
It depends on what you use. It already deploys from GitHub on every push, with domains, HTTPS, cron jobs and rollback, but it doesn't have pull request previews, docker-compose or one-click databases yet. On top of that, it keeps your server from being hacked, keeps resources under control and makes sure your backups and scheduled jobs run.
Is SecuryBlack free to try?
Yes, our Hobby plan is free for 1 server and includes metrics and security auditing.
