> Supabase is one of the most portable platforms out there

Not in my experience. The documentation and infra is just not there to make it easy to use an external postgres db.

we know of many, many companies using Supabase self-hosted or with an external database.

if you have any problems, feel free to reach out to me directly. We want this to be simple (and you can see that there are non-supabase commentors in this thread who are self-hosting, so it's not just lip service)

I self host a couple supabase instances.

That said it feels like every other week there's an update that breaks the self hosted compose, looking through the GitHub issue tracker shows a few issues where the suggestion is "oh yeah the latest X image doesn't work, regress the version to get it running"

I really like supabase, but stability on the self hosted images is my biggest gripe with it currently.
