Is it really so that convex uses
Durable persistence to disk is a hard problem that (IMO) is one layer below the relational aspect of databases. It's something that these RDBMS' do really well (as @Jamie is mentioning).
Eg check out this article from SQLite
https://www.sqlite.org/atomiccommit.html. Postgres and Mysql are similarly battle tested and good at this. That's a big part of why we use them for durability/persistence to disk.
The actual relations, reactivity, subscriptions, stored procedures in typescript - that's Convex's magic! You can check out the source here. https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend/tree/main/crates.
You can probably hook up to apache superset via streaming export in the cloud product (eg fivetran or airbyte).

You could use convex functions to report on your convex data. That feels like the right layer of abstraction for getting information about the Convex tables.

Yeah - Convex uses postgres (or mysql or sqlite) as the persistence layer, but does not use its full power as a database.
Convex itself is implementing a reactive relational database on top of it.

What kind of reporting are you hoping for?

About Minio... I tried to find reason
if it's S3 compatible, it should work. We have instructions on how to use R2 which is another S3 compatible objectstore.

Hi! I'm trying out self hosting convex
Using the latest of both the Backend container + CLI should get you a working setup.
Since you're self hosting, you get to decide when you want to upgrade it. It's up to you.

Hi! I'm trying out self hosting convex
Yep! You got it!
Once you have something stable, it's up to you if you want to upgrade it. You don't have to, but you can to get whatever is new.

Hey guys , I have installed the docker
It sounds like you are able to reach your dashboard's container (presumably how you are getting the error message about checking that your convex server is running).
But the dashboard's container can't reach the convex server.
Maybe that can help you debug further and narrow down the issue with your setup?

Hey guys , I have installed the docker
The docker container with the dashboard tries to hit 127.0.0.1:3210 to get to the backend.
The default setup assumes that the dashboard docker container and the backend docker container are running next to each other on the same machine.

Hi, my POC is stuck at "Downloading
That message happens when the convex CLI is pulling information from a remote deployment (either cloud or self-hosted).
Because you're posting in #self-hosted , I am assuming you're trying to self host? Where in the instructions are you?
