Self-Hosting
Install and run your own Supabase on your computer, server, or cloud infrastructure.
Self-hosting is a good fit if you need full control over your data, have compliance requirements that prevent you from using managed services, or want to run Supabase in an isolated environment.
Get started#
The fastest and recommended way to self-host Supabase is to use Docker.
Community projects#
These projects are maintained by the Supabase community, not by Supabase. To get involved, see the Community page.
How self-hosted Supabase differs#
Self-hosted Supabase runs as a single project, which means that Studio doesn't support multiple organizations or projects. Most settings are configured through environment variables.
Some features of the managed platform aren't available when self-hosting: branching, advanced metrics beyond logs, managed backups and PITR, analytics and vector buckets, ETL, and the Management API. To collect logs and metrics yourself, see the community-maintained observability project.
Not the same as local development#
Supabase CLI runs a local stack for development and testing. That stack is not a self-hosted deployment: it is not hardened for production and must not be exposed to external traffic.
To self-host, use Docker or the community-maintained Kubernetes project.
Your responsibilities when self-hosting#
When you self-host, you are responsible for:
- Server provisioning and maintenance
- Security hardening and keeping OS and services updated
- Service configuration and management
- Postgres database maintenance
- High availability and scalability
- Backups and disaster recovery
- Monitoring and uptime
Third-party guides#
Guides written by other projects and companies. Supabase doesn't maintain them, so check that they match your version of self-hosted Supabase.
Telemetry#
Self-hosted Supabase does not phone home or collect any telemetry.
The Supabase CLI, a separate tool also used for local development, collects usage telemetry to help improve the developer experience. See CLI telemetry for opt-out methods.
Support and community#
Self-hosted Supabase is community-supported.
Enterprise self-hosting#
If you're an enterprise using self-hosted Supabase, we'd love to hear from you. Reach out to our Growth Team to discuss your use case, share feedback, or explore design partnership opportunities.
