The Realtime Inspector now checks the Realtime publication before showing setup guidance. Projects with published tables get the join-channel view even before this Inspector session receives any messages; unconfigured projects keep the setup guide. Setup guidance also stays hidden while publications are loading or unavailable. Joining a channel and displaying received messages retain their existing behavior. Addresses [FE-4520](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/FE-4520/realtime-inspector-ui-implies-i-am-not-using-realtime-despite-already). ## To test - With no tables in `supabase_realtime`, open Realtime → Inspector and confirm the setup guide appears. - Enable Realtime on a table and confirm a client receives a database change. Open the Inspector without joining a channel: it should show “Join a channel to start listening to messages” and no setup guide. - Join a channel, trigger a table change, and check the event and payload appear. Stop listening and confirm messages remain visible. - Open Policies, then return to the Inspector and confirm the setup guide stays hidden for the configured project. - Join a broadcast-only channel with no incoming messages and confirm the messages view appears immediately. ## Validation Reproduced the original prompt locally with a working Realtime table, then verified the fix in the browser, including an independent client subscription, a live INSERT in the Inspector, navigation, stopping, and the unconfigured state. Temporary test data and services were cleaned up. All nine new regression tests pass; four fail against the original code. Typecheck, formatting, lint ratchet, Knip, and the case-sensitivity check pass. The full Studio suite passed 7,799 tests with one unrelated Explorer test failure; that test passed on a focused rerun alongside the Inspector tests. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * The Realtime inspector keeps the messages view visible while publication status is loading or unavailable, and when a channel is joined or messages are present. * Setup guidance appears only after publications load successfully and confirm that Realtime is unavailable, with no channel or messages to show. This includes cases where there are no publications, the Realtime publication has no tables, or only a differently named publication exists. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: Alaister Young <10985857+alaister@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Joshen Lim <joshenlimek@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Supabase Studio
A dashboard for managing your self-hosted Supabase project, and used on our hosted platform. Built with:
What's included
Studio is designed to work with existing deployments - either the local hosted, docker setup, or our CLI. It is not intended for managing the deployment and administration of projects - that's out of scope.
As such, the features exposed on Studio for existing deployments are limited to those which manage your database:
- Table & SQL editors
- Saved queries are unavailable
- Database management
- Policies, roles, extensions, replication
- API documentation
Managing Project Settings
Project settings are managed outside of the Dashboard. If you use docker compose, you should manage the settings in your docker-compose file. If you're deploying Supabase to your own cloud, you should store your secrets and env vars in a vault or secrets manager.
How to contribute?
- Branch from
masterand name your branches with the following structure{type}/{branch_name}- Type:
chore | fix | feature - The branch name is arbitrary — just make sure it summarizes the work.
- Type:
- When you send a PR to
master, it will automatically tag members of the frontend team for review. - Review the main contributing guide to help test your feature before sending a PR.
- The Dashboard is under active development. You should run
git pullfrequently to make sure you're up to date.
Developer Quickstart
Note
Supabase internal use: To develop on Studio locally with the backend services, see the instructions in the internal
infrastructurerepo.
# You'll need to be on Node v22
# in /studio
## For external contributors
pnpm install # install dependencies
pnpm run dev # start dev server
## For internal contributors
## First clone the private supabase/platform repo and follow instructions for setting up mise
mise studio # Run from supabase/platform alongside `mise infra`
## For all
pnpm run test # run tests
pnpm run test -- --watch # run tests in watch mode
Running within a self-hosted environment
Follow the self-hosting guide to get started.
cd ..
cd docker
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f ./dev/docker-compose.dev.yml up
Once you've got that set up, update .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=
Then run the following commands to install dependencies and start the dashboard.
npm install
npm run dev
If you would like to configure different defaults for "Default Organization" and "Default Project", you will need to update the .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.
DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION_NAME=
DEFAULT_PROJECT_NAME=
