Self-hosted Supabase: making Analytics and Vector opt-in

[aantti]

What's Changing?

The week of June 1, 2026, the analytics (Logflare) and vector services will be removed from the default docker-compose.yml and moved into an opt-in overlay file: docker-compose.logs.yml (PR #45327).

The default docker compose up -d will start a leaner stack without log aggregation. To keep using Logs Explorer in Studio, you'll need to include the overlay:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.logs.yml up -d

The base docker-compose.yml will also set ENABLED_FEATURES_LOGS_ALL: false on Studio by default, so the Logs menu item won't appear in the UI unless you bring up the overlay.

Why?

• Analytics (Logflare) is a heavy service in the default self-hosted Supabase stack. Making it an opt-in reduces CPU and memory footprint.
• Studio, Auth, Storage, PostgREST, and Realtime all work without analytics or vector.

Am I Affected?

You are affected if all of the following are true:

• You run self-hosted Supabase from the ./docker directory
• You pull updates from master without overriding the compose invocation
• You actively use Logs Explorer in Studio

You are not affected if you:

• Use the Supabase platform
• Use the Supabase CLI for local development (supabase start) - it's a different deployment option
• Don't use Logs Explorer (analytics and vector silently going away)
• Already maintain a customized compose configuration

What Should I Do?

If you use Logs Explorer

Add the overlay to your docker compose invocation:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.logs.yml up -d

You'll need to include both -f flags on every docker compose command (up, down, logs, ps, etc.) for the overlay to apply consistently. If that's inconvenient, set COMPOSE_FILE=docker-compose.yml:docker-compose.logs.yml in your .env and the flags become implicit.

If you don't use Logs Explorer

No action needed. Pull the new compose files and docker compose up -d will just work, with a smaller resource footprint. Existing analytics and vector containers and their volumes will stop being managed - you can remove them once you've confirmed the stack is healthy:

docker compose rm -f -s -v analytics vector
