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

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.

HTTP

Hi all - I am so excited to get to play with self-hosted Convex. Long story short, I have a self-hosted Convex running on my laptop alongside my vite app - everything works great. When I deploy the same code to our web server (using Cloudflare tunnel - two different domains point to 3210, and 3211 respectrively (convex-be.subdomain.com (3210), convex-be-functions.subdomain.com (3211)) - it seems like I am not able to get the functions working correctly. This is most evident by convex-auth not wo...

http actions via traefik

No it does not. Does it need to? Traefik just act as a reverse proxy, for example requests to https://convexpublic.mydomain.com/.well-known/openid-configuration are proxied to http://localhost:3211/.well-known/openid-configuration
