I’m looking for an experienced DevOps / Backend Engineer to set up and configure a self-hosted Supabase instance on my Ubuntu VPS. Docker is already installed, but it should be verified and properly configured. The goal is a secure, production-ready Supabase stack running locally (Postgres, Auth, REST, Realtime, Storage, Kong Gateway, and optional Studio), behind an HTTPS reverse proxy with automatic backups and full documentation.
Auth, REST, Storage, and Realtime endpoints all operational
Backups run daily; restore script verified
Logs rotate properly, disk usage monitored
Only ports 22/80/443 open (UFW enabled)
Documentation and .env.example delivered
No hardcoded secrets in any file under version control
Timeline & Deliverables
Estimated workload: 1–2 working days setup, +1 day for testing and documentation.
Deliverables pushed via Git repository and deployed on my VPS.
Required Skills
Docker & Docker Compose (production environments)
Supabase or similar stacks (Postgres, GoTrue, Kong, Realtime)
Linux server administration (Ubuntu)
Nginx + Let’s Encrypt TLS setup
Bash scripting (for backup/restore)
PostgreSQL and basic SQL/RLS understanding
Additional Notes
Docker is already running but needs verification.
Domain and DNS are fully configured.
No Supabase cloud integration — this must be 100% self-hosted.
Open to small improvements if you can make the setup more robust or secure.
