###### Deploy Supabase in minutes with Diploi, with PostgreSQL preconfigured, and DevOps not required.

Supabase is an open-source alternative to Firebase, which offers an instant Postgres database, authentication, storage, and more. With Diploi, you can get Supabase up and running in a fully-managed cloud environment, with no local setup or manual server configuration.

In this post, we’ll walk through getting started with Supabase on Diploi, deploying it to production, and adding a custom domain.

## Getting started with Supabase on Diploi

### What you need

- A GitHub account  
- A Diploi account

Signing up in Diploi is free, and does not require credit card.

### How to create a Supabase project

After signing in:

1. Click **Create Project +** in your Dashboard

2. Under **Pick Components**, select **Supabase**

3. Optionally attach any **Add-ons** (like Redis, etc.). PostgreSQL is already included by default

4. Under **Repository**, choose **Create Repository** so Diploi scaffolds a GitHub repo for you

5. Click **Launch Stack** to start your environment

This will:

- Scaffold your app with a GitHub repo  
- Start a Remote Development environment where you can create custom Supabase Functions  
- Launch a live preview URL where you can test Supabase right away  
- Allow you to manage ENV variables from the `options` tab

To access the Remote Development environment, you can:

- Use the browser IDE:  
   
  
- Or connect via SSH using your local editor:

When you access the live version of Supabase, you’ll be able to manage your Supabase instance.

## Launching your Supabase project to Production

If you are developing a full-stack app or creating custom Supabase Functions, once you are ready to start using your application in production, all you need to do is this:

1. Push changes to GitHub

2. Open your project dashboard in Diploi

3. Click **Create Deployment +** and select **Production** as the stage

4. Choose a **cluster size**

5. Select the **Git branch** that you’ll use for production (e.g. `main`)

6. Configure any **environment variables** your Supabase app needs

7. Click **Create Deployment**

Diploi builds your production instance and gives you a live URL under the `*.diploi.me` domain. Next, let’s assign a custom domain for your Supabase deployment.

## Configuring a custom domain for your Supabase project

To make your Supabase deployment available under your own domain:

1. Go to your Production deployment’s **Options** tab

2. Toggle off **Use Auto-Generated Endpoints**

3. Enable **Use Custom Domain** and input your domain (e.g. `db.mydomain.com`)

4. Save changes

5. In your domain DNS settings, create a **CNAME** pointing your hostname to `edge.diploi.com`

Diploi handles the SSL certificates automatically. This change usually happens instantly, but sometimes the DNS updates can take up 30 minutes to propagate.
