Hello I had a weird error on my self

Hello I had a weird error on my self hosted server: convex-backend | 2025-04-30T12:31:01.849360Z ERROR isolate::client: Restarting Isolate user_timeout: UserTimeout, last request: "UDF: _system/frontend/paginatedDeploymentEvents.js:default" The error happens when I try to delete in the dashboard a table with the Delete All button. It worked with other tables but with this one (bigger than the others) it appears to completly crash the server. It does not just crash the docker instance but it manages to crash the machine itself with a behaviour similar to what a fork bomb would do to a PC. The machine completly freeze even the mouse....

Self hosted - auth - user management

Once you follow the manual setup go to custom schema https://labs.convex.dev/auth/setup/schema and define a custom schema for users copy and paste it and add any additional fields you need, then do to the convex dashboard and go to data all the tables are there

If I opt in to using self hosted Convex

If I opt in to using self hosted Convex with PostSQL/MySQL database connection, it is possible for me to create a separate microservice write to the Convex database without using Convex. My current usecase has something that is very heavy on the write operation, currently using Clickhouse, we want to use Convex as the client side to read from these real time data, which Convex is already using Websocket between FE and BE which is perfect, but the thing we are concern is if external service can d...

Is it really so that convex uses

Is it really so that convex uses basically one db table for all convex tables in Postgres? This seems a bit odd (and i'm a bit worried as our current db is few terabytes of data). I was planning to use Postgres directly for reporting but now it does not seem possible

Hi! I'm trying out self hosting convex

Hi! I'm trying out self hosting convex on fly.io with great success! So far I could get much better latency in my region (Brazil, São Paulo) as the cloud product is US only for now. With the cloud product a simple mutation/query update would take ~250ms, and self hosting in my region I get ~60ms. My questions are: Which image from ghcr.io should I use? Always the one tagged as "latest"?...

hi all, im sure it's something pretty

hi all, im sure it's something pretty simple, but has anyone been able to get a valid generateUploadUrl in order to upload? i've followed the docs/demo and the url that comes back is this: http://convex-<subdomains>/api/storage/upload?token=<token> -- however anytime i try to use it i get a 404 not found. even testing with curl it goes to /404. am i missing something? this is the dashboard url. i also have a backend at http://backend-<subdomains>

Hello, I am encountering an error when

Hello, I am encountering an error when trying to migrate a database to my self-hosted solution: the error is 413 Request Entity too large. The context is that I am using a MySql server as backend and I am wondering if there are configurations that must be set that are not yet described in the guide. We managed to migrate this database from the cloud to the litesql we did for testing but now the production solution using MySql throw this error. Does anyone knows how to fix it? Thanks. I was thinking... could it be that the docker image of the convex backend i am using is old?...

Are there any existing self hosting

Are there any existing self hosting conversations about scale? Like rules of thumb for how much throughput certain common sized servers can handle. And maybe basic things to know about any kind of horizontal scaling if possible?

So on a project I have, I'm trying to self host and creat a terraform configuration that can launch convex into a VPC on Google Cloud. I'm having trouble with the generate_admin_key step. both calling that command and getting the key. I'd much rather prefer to generate my own key and pass that in to the container. But I didn't see any options discussed for that. Has anyone successfully packaged this up into something that can be run that way? or is everyone just setting this up on Cloud accounts...
