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

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"?...

Hey guys , I have installed the docker version on my ubunto vps , I am able to connect to my backend from my project, however on dashboard.domain.com i am getting This deployment is not online. Check that your Convex server is running and accessible at http://127.0.0.1:3210. , even though I have setup the nginx proxy for api.domain.com to localhost:3210 , and I have generated ssl for them using certbot , am I missing something ? i have been trying to make this work for the past 2 days and i can't seem to wrap my head around it....

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

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...

hey! I just deployed the self-hosted version of Convex.dev on my Hetzner server and want to use Supabase as the database. I spun up a fresh project in Supabase, but when I set the DATABASE_URL env var to the Supabase connection string with postgresql://.../postgres (so the DB name is set to postgres), Convex complains I shouldn't include the DB name. According to the docs here, Convex expects a data...

now i am trying to make convex auth work

now i am trying to make convex auth work, but i keep having 'could not verify token claim' error, due to the lack of ideas how to make it work, i swapped from selfhost, to cloud solution just to check if its even working and i noticed that auth domain is different in selfhost and cloud (there is also a chance that this is result of me modifying container/coolify env variables)

S3 file storage

For the S3 thing, yes it's effectively implementing an interface/trait. For the scalability thing, the code changes are similarly straightforward, but the tricky part is spinning up parts of the codebase (the parts that run functions or connect websockets) on separate servers and making sure they can talk to each other.
