Everything seems to be working except for convex auth which I cannot get working

When trying to run locally (using the binary: precompiled-2025-04-11-56756cc) with mysql (mysql Ver 8.0.41-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 for Linux on x86_64 ((Ubuntu))) on Ubuntu I get an error. Here's the command:

./convex-local-backend --instance-name convex-self-hosted --instance-secret <redacted> --db mysql-v5 "mysql://convex:<redacted>@localhost:33060"

Here's the error:

Caught error (RUST_BACKTRACE=1 RUST_LOG=info,common::errors=debug for full trace): Your request couldn't be completed. Try again later.: Input/output error: Input/output error: can't parse: buf doesn't have enough data: Input/output error: can't parse: buf doesn't have enough data: can't parse: buf doesn't have enough data

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 directly write to the self hosted Convex database using SQL mutation, it seems like Convex only has one single table for SQL?

Not sure if it is just related to this thread too: https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend/blob/main/self-hosted/README.md

Thank you for following up, where exactly is the „This is how you manage users“ part 😅 ? I have setup convex auth completely with password auth and I‘m looking for a way to manage my users.

Alienwarez•3w ago

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

Has anyone had any issues with R2 and convex self hosted using S3 as the storage where if I delete a file from convex it doesnt get deleted on R2 also R2 requires all non-trailing parts to have the same length, if I try to upload a big file on the dashboard of convex it shows this error

I'd recommend using the API

With convex self-hosted, I have a problem generating the Upload URLs. Convex is trying to use 127.0.0.1/api as an endpoint, but the server has a valid DNS. How can I set the DNS for the upload endpoint? /e: Okay problem solved, we changed the CONVEX_CLOUD_ORIGIN to be the convex endpoint behind nginx (basically my.url.com/convex).

Hello Team. I have self-hosted it in my VPS and setup the .local.env in by convex app like this

CONVEX_SELF_HOSTED_URL='http://xx.xx.xx.123:3210/' 
CONVEX_SELF_HOSTED_ADMIN_KEY='convex-self-hosted|014c9bed0e04df4fa531d2491ef26acc76d4422dd13f004e59ed2fc4bb2dd21d2084f0856b7c1c00461e873c03ab5c3a32'

CONVEX_SELF_HOSTED_URL='http://xx.xx.xx.123:3210/'

Hi gang - I've got MCP up on VS Code (mostly) but I'm having a problem using it in tandem with Docker. I'm getting {"error":"Not Authorized: Run npx convex dev to login to your Convex project."} Even though I can get to it because I have my .env.local file configured when I run the TanStack app just fine. VITE_CONVEX_URL=http://xx.xx.xx.123:3210 Need to set that too
