> Is some part of the Firebase code closed source or less "Open" where the Supabase equivalent is not?

All of the Firebase backend is proprietary, and their client code is open source.

The Supabase backend is here: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/tree/master/docker

This is the set up we use for every project on our hosted platform. These backend tools are either built by Supabase, supported by Supabase (we employ maintainers), or licensed with OSI-compliant licenses.

Our client libraries are all open source, Apache 2.0 licensed.

Supabase is open source in every definition of the word. I think the problem is our self-hosting docs, so we'll spend the day improving this.

Ah, gotcha. So Supabase has backend that is also open source which could theoretically be used for self hosting? Yes, that is a difference. It wasn't clear to me from the docs. Thanks!
