How to login from CLI to self-hosted instance

Im currently trying to set up better auth with nextjs following this guide: https://convex-better-auth.netlify.app/#install-component there are some environment variables here which im not sure what to put because it seems like they're autogenerated by logging into convex cloud how do i log in to my self-hosted convex instance? for example to get stuff like
# Deployment used by `npx convex dev`
CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT=dev:adjective-animal-123 # team: team-name, project: project-name
# Deployment used by `npx convex dev`
CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT=dev:adjective-animal-123 # team: team-name, project: project-name
which shows up on the convex dashboard if you use the cloud version, but doesn't show up for self-hosted versions (i use coolify btw)

Follow the self hosted guide, part of the setup is generating an admin key and setting it in your .env.local: https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend/blob/main/self-hosted/README.md#self-hosting-convex
