Self-Hosted Supabase constant 100% CPU usage

Hello,

I’ve been testing Supabase as a replacement for another self-hosted BaaS. I set it up on my VPS (8 vCPU cores, 24GB RAM) using Docker, following the official documentation.

Everything runs without errors, but I noticed that all CPU cores stay at 100% usage constantly. It’s been several hours since starting Supabase, and the CPU load hasn’t gone down.

When I stop the containers with
docker compose down
docker compose down
, CPU usage immediately returns to normal (around 9% per core, since I run other services on the VPS as well). So it seems the issue is directly related to Supabase.

This also happens on a completely clean install, with no data or configuration changes. As soon as I run
docker compose up
docker compose up
, the CPU usage spikes to 100% across all cores and stays there.

Does anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it?
I'm attaching images of htop before and after shutting down the Supabase containers.
