How to develop and self-host Supabase on your own machines with Supabase

Run Supabase locally or on your own infrastructure instead of the hosted platform.

Credentials. A self-hosted instance holds your database and auth secrets, so store keys in a secret manager and never commit them to a repository.

Who it is forEngineer or ops team that needs local development or control over where app data is stored.

The problemSome teams cannot send data to a hosted service and need the same backend stack on their own servers.

The outcomeA local or self-hosted Supabase instance that matches the hosted feature set described in the README.

What you need first

  • A Supabase account at https://supabase.com/dashboard, or a self-hosted install following the self-host guide
  • A basic understanding of Postgres tables and rows
  • A client library for your app language, such as supabase-js for JavaScript or TypeScript, listed in the README client table

Steps

  1. Read the self-host overview at https://supabase.com/docs/guides/hosting/overview.
  2. Read the local development guide at https://supabase.com/docs/guides/local-development.
  3. Follow the guide to install the stack on your machine or server.
  4. Create a test table and confirm the auto-generated API responds.
  5. Set up backups and access controls before storing real data.

Prompt for your agent

Using the supabase/supabase README and the linked self-host and local development guides, produce a checklist to run Supabase on <target machine or server>. Output the ordered setup steps and a verification query for each. Verify that the REST API and authentication respond before any real data is loaded.

Caveat. The README only links to the self-host and local development guides, so the exact install commands and requirements must come from those pages.
