We just launched self-hosted @convex.dev! We open sourced last year but realized the code was open but not so useful on its own. This time we've included the Convex dashboard, bindings for Postgres, SQLite (and MySQL v. soon), packaged up in a docker container ready for real use

When people say they want open source they rarely mean they just want to read the source code. They mean they want unrestricted access, an active community, ease of use, and yes, often something for free. news.convex.dev/self-hosting/

Cloud-hosted Convex is still the best place to start for most folks getting started, plus includes a very usable free tier, but we're really glad to have the self-hosted option available for people whose needs fall outside our hosted plans.
