# Self-Hosting

Install and run your own Supabase on your computer, server, or cloud infrastructure.

Host Supabase on your own 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.

- **[Docker](/docs/guides/self-hosting/docker):** Deploy Supabase within your own infrastructure using Docker Compose.

## Community projects

These projects are maintained by the Supabase community, not by Supabase. To get involved, see the [Community page](/contribute).

- **[Kubernetes](https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-kubernetes):** Run Supabase on Kubernetes with the Supabase Operator or a Helm chart.
- **[Observability](https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-observability):** Collect logs, metrics, and traces from self-hosted Supabase with open-source tools.

## 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](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/docker/.env.example).

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](https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-observability).

### Not the same as local development

[Supabase CLI](/docs/guides/local-development/cli/getting-started) 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](/docs/guides/self-hosting/docker) or the community-maintained [Kubernetes project](https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-kubernetes).

## 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.

- **[Secure self-hosted Supabase with NetBird](https://netbird.io/knowledge-hub/supabase-self-hosted-netbird):** By NetBird. Keep Studio and Postgres off the public internet with NetBird network access controls.

## Telemetry

Self-hosted Supabase **does not phone home or collect any telemetry**.

The **Supabase CLI**, a separate tool also used for [local development](/docs/guides/local-development/cli/getting-started), collects usage telemetry to help improve the developer experience. See [CLI telemetry](/docs/guides/local-development/cli/getting-started#telemetry) for opt-out methods.
