### Self-hosted: NPM Package

```bash
npx simstudio
```
→ http://localhost:3000

#### Note
Docker must be installed and running on your machine.

#### Options

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `-p, --port <port>` | Port to run Sim on (default `3000`) |
| `--no-pull` | Skip pulling latest Docker images |

### Self-hosted: Docker Compose

```bash
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
```

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)

Sim also supports local models via [Ollama](https://ollama.ai) and [vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/) — see the [Docker self-hosting docs](https://docs.sim.ai/self-hosting/docker) for setup details.

### Self-hosted: Manual Setup

**Requirements:** [Bun](https://bun.sh/), [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with [pgvector](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector)

1. Clone and install:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare  # Set up pre-commit hooks
```

2. Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:

```bash
docker run --name simstudio-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=simstudio -p 5432:5432 -d pgvector/pgvector:pg17
```

Or install manually via the [pgvector guide](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector#installation).

3. Configure environment:

```bash
cp apps/sim/.env.example apps/sim/.env
# Create your secrets
perl -i -pe "s/your_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_internal_api_secret/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_api_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
# DB configs for migration
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env
# Edit both .env files to set DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/simstudio"
```

4. Run migrations:

```bash
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
```

5. Start development servers:

```bash
bun run dev:full  # Starts Next.js app and realtime socket server
```

Or run separately: `bun run dev` (Next.js) and `cd apps/sim && bun run dev:sockets` (realtime).

## Copilot API Keys

Copilot is a Sim-managed service. To use Copilot on a self-hosted instance:

- Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Copilot and generate a Copilot API key
- Set `COPILOT_API_KEY` environment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value
