# Supabase (/templates/supabase)



[Supabase](https://supabase.com) is an open-source Firebase alternative built on Postgres. This template gives you the database, auth, the REST API, storage, edge functions and the Studio dashboard.

Deploy it from the [template list](/templates#deploy-a-template). It takes a minute or two.

## What gets deployed [#what-gets-deployed]

<TemplateServices name="Supabase" />

Your data lives in the PostgreSQL service. Files uploaded through Supabase Storage go to the MinIO service, on a volume mounted at `/data`.

## What you fill in [#what-you-fill-in]

<TemplateInputs name="Supabase" />

## After it deploys [#after-it-deploys]

Everything you need is on the **Kong** service. Open it and look at its variables:

| Variable               | What it is for                                                                    |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `DASHBOARD_USERNAME`   | Studio sign in. It is `admin`.                                                    |
| `DASHBOARD_PASSWORD`   | Studio sign in.                                                                   |
| `SUPABASE_ANON_KEY`    | The public key your frontend uses.                                                |
| `SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY` | The service role key. It bypasses row level security, so keep it on your backend. |
| `JWT_SECRET`           | Signs the two keys above.                                                         |

Open your domain and sign in to Studio. In your app, use `https://your-domain` as the Supabase URL with the anon key.

## Good to know [#good-to-know]

* **One domain**: Kong sits in front of every other service, so Studio, the APIs and storage all share the domain you picked.
* **What is left out**: Realtime, image transformations and the analytics stack are not part of this template.
* **Do not rename the dashboard user**: `DASHBOARD_USERNAME` is protected because the Kong configuration depends on it.
* **Email**: auth emails need a mail server. Add the `GOTRUE_SMTP_*` variables to the Auth service and redeploy.
* **It is a big template**: nine services. Give it the recommended resources or more.
