Have you tried self-hosting yet? What are you missing?

After the third thorough installation, I found out following: 1. Right after you set access list in NGINX, you can only manipulate with tables, but not with storage nor users. 2. After FULL installation by the guide, with Authelia, everything works. 3. supabase-vector doesn`t start. 4. supabase-storage & supabase-studio both are in 'unhealthy' state, 5. Error on sending invitation But, main functions works. Great job David ! Thank`s a lot !

Watching this for 100th time :) , pls don't delete this video. Setting up my 3rd supabase site.

Omg thanks 🙏 I became subscriber . Anyone giving full guides and not just 5 min versions of KZfaq just to get views is not worth my time because I tend to loose to much time afterward not understand 70% of the full content. Thanks you and keep up the great work and give us more full guides . I just found your channel. ❤

OMG dude! I literally wanted to try hosting my own supabase on Hetzner this weekend and you upload this! Thanks for saving me from wasting a ton of time 😅

Hehe, I was just reading their selfhosting guide last night, and wanted to do the setup on my contabo server. What a timing, this came just right. Thank you for the tutorial, and saving the time as well💓💓

God knows how much it takes to compress those 45h of work and research into a 35 minute guide for your audience. Def, earned this like comment and subscriber =) Keep up the good work, we are very thankfull

Some Hint for Studio + Storage: If you use the Studio Dashboard for File Storage and copy the URL of a Storage File, it might append a "wrong" Port. This is a bug within Supabase and I already opened a Pull Request in GitHub for it.

The last part at from 25:00 made this really exciting. This channel is so under-subscribed, its a hidden gem.

WOW! You bring this up to my head. I'm finding the way to selfhost Supabase with storage. You pull it up. Subscribed.

Thanks for the hard work! I just followed your tutorial verbatim over the past couple of days. I realized the hard way that I couldn't host minio/nginx/supabase on the same server, so I tore everything down and rebuilt, excluding minio and opting for remote Wasabi S3. Little bit of wasted time, but no worries Also, I have stopped at the Basic Auth portion and have yet to configure Authelia. Current Issues: 1. Auth: user creation not working from the Dashboard, giving me a "nameserver error". Additionally, using only Basic Auth, an endless loop is created when trying to create a new user with the Dashboard prompting me to enter Basic Auth credentials endlessly. 2. Nginx Basic Auth: this is mainly an issue with NPM itself, but when enabling a "Custom Location", it breaks that proxy (at least when dealing with the supabase dashboard proxy). The temp fix is to add the "location /" as custom code in the advanced tab and it will work as intended.| 3. Logging: you seemed to have missed this part of the setup in your tutorial. Considering port 4000 is by default exposed for the logging service, it might pose a security issue. Additionally, logs are not working at all within the Dashboard using your setup and the current supabase build. 4. S3: following your setup, I had linked up to Wasabi S3 storage (uses the same AWS S3 protocol). It only works half-way out of the box, although I am still isolating the issue to see if it's a IAM policy issue. My bucket is set to allow my S3 user to access all bucket resources and folders, except Supabase will only ADD files to Wasabi, but is unable to delete them. Additionally, manually deleting files from within Wasabi will not reflect those changes inside supabase, making it unusable for S3 storage in it's current out-of-the-box state. Collectively, these issues means the supabase self-hosted solution using your tutorial is not development ready, let alone production ready, so I am continuing to troubleshoot these issues. It is unfortunate that Supabase self-hosted had the potential to be the best self-hosted BaaS on the market, but falls shortly of actually being a useful product, and would be a key primer to have me sign up for their cloud solution. Although, if a company is so willing to waste this much of my time in hopes I'll sign up for their cloud service, I'll be better satisficed searching their competitors' cloud solutions. I am new to backend development and as such setting up supabase has been a terrible experience so far (which activenode's tutorial has made me feel better about). Albeit this was a necessary process to help me understand the difference between company's providing good documentation, and those providing bad documentation. I'm confident in saying supabase seems to suffer from the latter. Being a newbie developer myself (their target demographic), I will seek to avoid supabase self-hosted (and cloud) at all costs.

you are a legend, absolutely brilliant thank you for the indepth step by step tutorial

I will soon release basically this, with all infrastructure as code using Terraform and minimal instructions. Thanks so much for this tutorial. Really helpful. I am able to stand on the shoulder of giants!

Hey activenode, thanks you for sharing your hard work, it’s the best tutorial I found. I strongly believe self hosted supabase is a good approach, mainly for EU-based project and GPDR compliance. Even if Supabase seems to work on this subject (with their DPA, TIA, Supabase Inc. entity…), not all is very clear on that. Supabase Docker is the first approach for self hosting, K8s infra would be more suitable for scalability and maintainability but community project for k8s seems outdated. The only way I currently found to self hosting supabase using Docker in a few click is elestio services, which is GDPR compliant too. Another big point is elestio allows you to bring your own VM with their services. But, the dark side in elestio and in your video, is IMHO, the db should be decoupled from the middleware (studio, Kong and sub apis) for some reasons : easier to update the middleware, backup rules differentiation, security, etc. Same thing for storage layer with S3 compatible storage, as u suggest with minio. And idem for Analytics. It would be great if we could use a dbaas for the postgresql, unfortunately no EU hosting (Scaleway, AWS, OVH) allows to use the “not-certified” pg extensions that supabase is built on. Only AWS RDS allows pg_tle for custom extensions like pgjwt, but it’s not yet sufficient. Other point, for production env, I don’t like the idea that postgresql port was open (and don’t know if fail2ban filter for postgres is embedded in docker image). But for migration from supabase CLI (using -db-url), it would be interesting to use something like a bastion and ssh tunneling. Same idea for studio (to be available from another IP/domain). Sorry for long post, but let me know if I can help you on something about these points to think together and with the community ;) About your book, when is it due?

The Authelia part came really handy for OpenSearch. Thanks for the tutorial :)

Hear that Sigh, wonderful. You are a hero. On the venture to host it on OCI lets see how it goes.

Awesome explanation and tutorial thank you! I haven’t tried self-hosting yet but I suspect I’ll be moving there before too long so this will be a wonderful help!!

🤯😍🤠👊👏 Well that answered the question I had about whether this could be done. Amazing work. Thank you for your effort! Godspeed with your book!

Wow a fantastic tutorial. Thank you very much! After the latest cloudflare problems we need to install our Supabase on our own server.

Thanks for the hard work. The video was super helpful. I really appreciate you for your efforts.

hi, nice video, A video on how to integrate authentication, for example, through Google would be greatly appreciated, especially in the case of self-hosted solutions

such as amazing tutorial, I love it much

Dropping another thank you as I have been continuing to come back to this video to help me out. Btw, have you used Authelia in the past for implementing more complicated auth systems - if so would you recommend it?

that's very well explained, i will try it myself

Thank you, you’ve earned my respect and subscription

It's quite annoying that the proxy manager doesn't use TLS by default, or via config flag. But great you later go over this.

Hey men. thank u for sharing your knowledge. but why i can't see settings button, can u help me with that?

I was so happy to see this guide, but still struggeling with minio. I can not login into the dashboard. So I digged around for an hour until I gave up .... for now ;-) But I can see how much effort it have taken to create this tutorial it is everything but easy.

How do you upgrade the version of the backend services if supabase pushes new changes? Resolve merge conflicts whenever you pull from the upstream supabase repo?

thanks for the great tutorial! really helpful with authelia.

Man You did a fantastic Job , thanks :)

If this works, you are my favorite KZfaqr.

Excellent coverage , thank you

Love this one

omg, thank you man! this is what i need :D, You pull it up. Subscribed. is there a way to configure the self host supabase with an extenal postgres database?

The Vector setting is missing in the code downloaded actually. Doesn't match the one you got in video.

Best video on this topic on youtube! Any chance you'd do a video where you spin up a server with Typesense and do the proper connections to the supabase server to use it as a serchengine for content in the Supabase db?

After adding the domaind and creating the SSL certificate for the nginx proxy manager itself you should go back into your docker compose file and remove port 81 from being exposed. By default, you exposed ports 81, 80 and 443 and since you are now exposing the proxy maanger via port 80 and 443 via the domain, you don't need port 81 anymore and you should remove it.

❤ good job 👏

Man this is great, thanks a lot, just subscribed I want to start Supabase as a newbie programmer and wanted exactly this video. Are there any limitations to Self Hosting features, compared with the paid Cloud options? I couldnt find a feature comparision table anywhere

I pointed 2 ip adresses (S3 storage& supabase) from CF without DNS proxy to my domain and I still getting internal error while I try to adding S3 to proxy list nginx

very detailed tutorial, thanks. But need explanation on how to configure custom domains, how to point them dockerized nginx

I think following the supabase docs for self hosting is much simpler. After watching this video, i checked docs and there were just 4 commands. I thought no way these 4 commands will run the self hosted supabase. I was so much sure that this won't work that i didn't even change the env file and after running the docker compose up command viola it is working.

I hope soon you can afford an AC... your contents are gem! thanks for the tutorial even though I didn't understand a lot but planning to look into the tutorial again in the future with some basic knowledge of docker and other things you've used.!! 🥲🥲

So that instance is globally accessible but looking at that UI, does that support collaboration? Like adding team members?

Thank you!

Hey! Would you say the server backups on Hetzner are sufficient for the database or would you use a different system/location for backups? I don’t want data to get lost and I’m not sure how good Hetzners backup systems are.

Hey David, one of the best tutorials I have seen on KZfaq. To the point, unpretentious, practical. I have now gone through the video, back & forth, probably 50 times. I have setup everything and it seems to work but with one glitch. I have setup Minio on Hetzener and configured. I can create a folder in Studio and see the folder. However, the folder/bucket is not visible in Minio dashboard inside supabase bucket. I can upload file in Minio dashboard and it works fine. When I try uploading the file from Studio, it just shows uploading one file and stays there. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Thank you

Why is the configuration tab greyed out in storage and authentification? I have the same issue in my self-hasted supabase

Thanks for the guide! I was wondering is this only for 1 supabase project? Do I have to selfhost another instance to get more projects?

I have run on an arm server, and the s3 storage does not work. There are problems with the sdk version.

Great work. Could you do a tutorial on how to enable logging in supabase?

Your way of explanation helped me a lot ❤ I have a question , why you didn't use Hetzner's Object Storage , it's cheaper than using an instance ?

nice article, thank you

Hi! Thanks for this tutorial. Very well structured and I could easily understand everything. Unfortunately, right at the end I cannot get the dashboard working correctly. So in Nginx Proxy Manager I did not add any Custom locations (as I think you meant to say in your blog) and instead only pasted the custom config. When entering the dashboard, basic authentication does not work anymore, I can access everything without any login. (When I do it the 'old' way with custom locations, this works) Either way, in the dashboard I can neither create new users (Failed to create user: invalid JWT: unable to parse or verify signature, signature is invalid), nor access access Storage. (400 GET /storage/v1/bucket). Do you have an idea whats going wrong here? I generated my JWT Secret the way you suggested in your blog.

Hay Man I really appreciate you ,cos after 1 month I can find out ,one of the best video about supabase-selfhosted,You are perfect man ,I appreciated you again and again God bless you

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Excellent 🦁 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

i cannot get in my S3 dashboard incorrect password and username

Legit question: Does the Self hosted version supports Users(creating users via studio Authentication)?? I thought i was breaking some configuration, but even with vannila install (without any config changes it always crashes with "canot fetch")

Hi, How do i setup real-ip?

thanks for the video. it really helps. but do you know how to decouple the database? :)

Thank you so much for your instruction!!! But is there anyone who followed the instructions who can use the "realtime" database feature without issue? When I subscribe to the channel or db change it always shows connect to websocket fail in the browser console. I know maybe this is not a good place to ask questions but I have tried everything I can to solve it but still have this issue. If anyone can use this function please let me know so I know at least it is solvable! Thank you all for the help!

I get a internal server error after I want to set up SSL and click on save, anyone else as well?

Great video bro thank you so much.. one question what are the tradeoffs of this solution compared to the one hosted by supabase.

Great job! It would be perfect if we could use supabase to authentication instead of authelia.

When I try to connect to the dashboard I keep getting secure connection failed. I think this has to do with something in the .env but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated!

I followed along the tutorial but when I got to the nginx proxy manager part. I got the proxy all working and I secured the proxy manager itself but when I got to the supabase api. Completed it and it said 502 Bad Gateway, Openresty. I tried alot of different stuff but I couldn't get it to work. And I tried to setup the studio too but the same situation with that. Docker says that containers are running and I tried restarting them numeros of times.

I respect the process that you had to go thru to get this done but there are quite a few errors in the tutorial since nowadays Supabase has a lot of new features and such. It would be nice for you to do a new tutorial with these features.

hello sir everything is working now after 3 to 4 days of working but 1 issue is still remaing 23:09 time of the video where you setup the storage in my case without custom location dashboard is working if i configure as you my dashboard is not working when the dashboard is working storage is not working 😂😂 tell me the solution

Thanks for the guidance, noobs question, how do we evaluate the benefit of self-hosting? Is it going to be more cost effective? Thanks!

it's not the exact match like cloud, there's no multiple databases, multiple users etc etc

Hi! I ve a problem which says "unauthorized, sign ups are disabled " how to solve it

Sir, this is a great video, but can you tell us how do you setup the dns server ?

Genius

@activenode Thanks for the great Tutorial. Currently I get the follow Error, if I try to upload an file to the Storage: "Failed to upload example.pdf: headers must have required property 'authorization'" any ideas ?

Hii, I did self host it but I am unable to get the external url to use the database, there isn't a lot of docs on it. What do I do?

Hey my Man, i get an 403 "bad_jwt" "invalid JWT: unable to parse or verify signature, signature is invalid". Any ideas?

Hey there! It all works for me, except one thing: auth. It looks like the authelia_session cookie isn't sent when I request /auth/v1/users (that's what happens when you click "Create new user" in the dashboard), therefore the request is unauthenticated and it gets redirected to the login page. I've followed the additions in the description, but that doesn't change anything. Any idea on why that happens? I feel like some additional configuration for the auth endpoint is missing.

I want to create applications and websites on self hosts to reduce the cost, but when using S3 or Cloudinary the cost is large, so what is the benefit of a private server if the rest of the technologies return the same cost!!?? Do the hosts not provide good handling of files and videos?

Would this be easier using coolify self hosting?

hello, i have just install from supabase docs, but when I upload file to storage or create folder it does not work. Can't create folder or upload with 0% upload. could you told me what this happen?

Nice video

Is there a way to enable edge functions in this tutorial?

Hey, first of all such a great tutorial. Is it possible to do this with kubernetes?

Is there a way to have more than one supabase project on one server?

very cool - how can I migrate my project from supabase cloud to the self hosted version? Also, what is the cost of all this and (I'm new to this) do I need to change my dns records for this to work?

Hey @activenode great stuff ! was wondering how I could have a on-prem setup (without cloud like hetzner) but connect to local s3 minio - is this actually possible?

Can we do it with Caprover?

show de bola!

Can you give a demo on connecting an OpenId Provider to supabase auth?

That proxy manager looks like a pain in comparison to Traefik.

Hi when i try to route ngnix to kong i always get bad gateway any idea whats going on ?

how add ssl certificate to self-hosted

Hello sir,I have a problem with file type for upload to strorage ,all file type was uploaded except media file jpg png or video ,I tried to create policy but was not useful,colud you please guide me

how does supabase compare to appwrite?

Is the book out?

Hi is there a way to get in touch with u ?

hey, your blog is offline
