AWS

Quick Install

You can use our AMI which is registered in the AWS Marketplace under the name Supabase Realtime.

Once the instance is up and running, you first need to point Realtime to listen to your PostgreSQL database. First, SSH to the instance, and edit /etc/realtime/realtime.env:

sudo nano /etc/realtime/realtime.env

You'll see some environment variables you need to set. If you use our Supabase Postgres AMI, you simply need to set DB_HOST to the Postgres instance's public IP, DB_PASSWORD to the password you set with \password postgres, and SECRET_KEY_BASE to a randomly generated secret which you can get by running the command below:

openssl rand -base64 48

Now you need the Realtime service to use the newly set environment variables:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart realtime

You can now disconnect from SSH. Now you should be able to visit your Realtime endpoint at http://your_realtime_ip:4000 and receive the greeting page, which means you're ready to subscribe to changes to your database with Realtime!

Build from Scratch

Make sure you have Packer installed.

Set your AWS security credentials (you can create these here):

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=youraccesskey

export AWS_SECRET_KEY=yoursecretkey

Run Packer on aws.json:

packer build aws.json

Launch an instance from the image created by Packer, and follow the steps in Quick Install.
