01 / Deploy
Start with one command
A Teploy-style starting point for a small VPS. Review the generated configuration, then replace the example host and domain with your own.
teploy deploy --compose supabase --host hetzner --domain db.example.comBefore you migrate
Price the operational work alongside the server bill. Self-hosting the full Supabase stack is ~12 containers. If you only need Postgres, just run Postgres.
