looks like it's not yet possible, can't run it anyhow with external database and doesn't seem that there is any answer this issue, crawled all possible resources and not a single answer...

It is possible to self host without a Supabase hosted account. The UI is not as complete, but thru SQL you can do pretty much everything but edge functions and webhooks (but those are just triggers with pg_net). As far as external database that is recommended.... Using an external database from the self hosting guide: https://supabase.com/docs/guides/hosting/docker#using-an-external-database We strongly recommend that you decouple your database from docker-compose before deploying. The middleware will run with any PostgreSQL database that has logical replication enabled. The following environment variables should be updated in the .env file to point to your external database:

@garyaustin strongly decouple database means you will never be able to boot up your self hosted system 😆 none of the questions is ever answered by anyone... solution mentioned in this guide simply does not work and for no reason supabase doesn't connect to any db other than the coupled in docker. So my assumption is, documentation is not completed and something important is missing, or docker image is not stable and messed up, or it's a marketing trick to give up and go for cloud solution. Sorry, but I wasted to much time not ro rant 😂
