Software Included

Creating an App using the Control Panel

Click the Deploy to DigitalOcean button to create a Droplet based on this 1-Click App. If you aren’t logged in, this link will prompt you to log in with your DigitalOcean account.

Creating an App using the API

In addition to creating a Droplet from the Supabase 1-Click App using the control panel, you can also use the DigitalOcean API. As an example, to create a 4GB Supabase Droplet in the SFO2 region, you can use the following curl command. You need to either save your API access token) to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$TOKEN'' -d \
        '{"name":"choose_a_name","region":"sfo2","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb","image": "supabase"}' \
        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"

Getting Started After Deploying Supabase

Please wait about 10 minutes after droplet is created, docker containers initialisation requires some time. After ssh is enabled droplet is ready to use.

On your first SSH login to the droplet or launch of the Droplet console of your Supabase Droplet 1-Click, you will be greeted by a Supabase setup script.

The first step is to enter your domain name. Make sure that your domain is pointing to the new droplet IP.

The DNS Host may be the same company you registered the domain with or another entity you designate. To connect your DNS hosting to DigitalOcean, check out this guide.

Once your A record is set up, you are ready to enter your domain in the script.

Next, the script will ask your email.

The script will configure HTTPS automatically for your droplet. We highly recommend setting HTTPS since using a domain is useless without it.

Supabase will be available in a few minutes after. For accessing the supabase in your browser, use https://%YOUR_DOMAIN%.

If you cancel entering domain, you can retry after next login. Before domain setup is complete, supabase application is accessible by IP - https://%DROPLET_IP%

Supabase login and password are located in /srv/supabase/supabase/docker/.env file, last two lines. Login into droplet using ssh and check login & password
