Application hosting

Hosting Supabase

A backend platform built around PostgreSQL, with authentication, storage, realtime features and functions. Self-hosting gives you control over the deployment and responsibility for its operation.

Must have

Hard prerequisites

  • Git, Docker Engine and Docker Compose on Linux, or Docker Desktop on a supported host.
  • Persistent database and file-storage volumes.
  • Configured application URLs, passwords and service secrets before public access.

Recommended

Documented guidance

No further general recommendations are published for this version.

Published starting requirements

The documented stack minimum is 4 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores and 40 GB SSD. Recommended resources are 8 GB+ RAM, 4+ cores and 80 GB+ SSD. These published GB values are not exact GiB values. Enabling optional services changes resource needs.

We only compare what providers publish. A RAM figure alone can't confirm compatibility or production capacity.

Storage

Persistent data

Preserve the PostgreSQL and Storage volumes and any deployed function files. Plan database and object-storage backups separately.

Step by step

Plan a self-hosted Supabase deployment

  1. Configure the stack

    Follow the maintained Compose instructions and replace example passwords and keys before exposing any services.

    Official instructions

  2. Prepare operations

    Arrange backups, monitoring and upgrades; self-hosting leaves these responsibilities with the operator.

    Official instructions

Security

Before you go public

  • Keep privileged service keys server-side.
  • Protect the dashboard and configure HTTPS for public endpoints.

Cost

Beyond the server price

  • Include backups, outbound traffic, email delivery and maintenance in the budget.
