Framecast AI

Supabase

Supabase is completely open-source. Personally, we're using Supabase itself to host the database. The experience has been smooth with no issues. You can also use its self-hosting capabilities to host it on your own server or using Docker as shown in the guide.

⚠️

Please make sure that Docker is installed in your system and is running before following the given guide. If you're looking for more options such as AWS (opens in a new tab) or other cloud platforms, visit the official Self-hosting Supabase guide (opens in a new tab).

The database service used in Framecast AI is Supabase (opens in a new tab). Supabase is an open-source Firebase alternative. It is a service that provides a Postgres database with a RESTful API, authentication, and real-time capabilities.

To use Supabase with for local environment, you need to install the following dependencies:

terminal

npx install supabase

After installing the dependencies, we need to start a local server for Supabase. You can start the server by running the following command:

terminal

npx supabase start

This will start a dockerized virtual container in your local machine while providing you with the following values in your terminal:

terminal

NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL = your-supabase-url
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY = your-supabase-anon-key
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY = your-supabase-service-role-key

Once you have these values, you can replace them with in your .env file by following the given steps:

Replacing Supabase URL, Supabase Anon Key, and Supabase Service Role Key

Replace your-supabase-url with your original Supabase URL, your-supabase-anon-key with your original Supabase Anon Key, and your-supabase-service-role-key with your original Supabase Service Role Key from the values provided in your terminal.

Ensure Replaced Values For Public Variables

Ensure that the replaced values are also repeated for the public variables NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, and NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY. For certain services, the public variables are used to access the values in the database.
