* fix(socket): sync deploy button state across collaborators Broadcast workflow-deployed events via socket so all connected users invalidate their deployment query cache when any user deploys, undeploys, activates a version, or triggers a deploy through chat/form endpoints. * fix(socket): check response status on deployment notification Log a warning when the socket server returns a non-2xx status for deployment notifications, matching the pattern in lifecycle.ts. * improvement(config): consolidate socket server URL into getSocketServerUrl/getSocketUrl Replace all inline `env.SOCKET_SERVER_URL || 'http://localhost:3002'` and `getEnv('NEXT_PUBLIC_SOCKET_URL') || 'http://localhost:3002'` with centralized utility functions in urls.ts, matching the getBaseUrl() pattern. * improvement(config): consolidate Ollama URL and CSP socket/Ollama hardcodes Add getOllamaUrl() to urls.ts and replace inline env.OLLAMA_URL fallbacks in the provider and API route. Update CSP to use getSocketUrl(), getOllamaUrl(), and a local toWebSocketUrl() helper instead of hardcoded localhost strings. * lint * fix(tests): add missing mocks for new URL utility exports Update lifecycle, async execute, and chat manage test mocks to include getSocketServerUrl, getOllamaUrl, and notifySocketDeploymentChanged. * fix(csp): remove urls.ts import to fix next.config.ts build CSP is loaded by next.config.ts which transpiles outside the @/ alias context. Use local constants instead of importing from urls.ts. * fix(queries): invalidate chat and form status on deployment change Add chatStatus and formStatus to invalidateDeploymentQueries so all deployment-related queries refresh when any user deploys or undeploys.

Quickstart
Cloud-hosted: sim.ai
Self-hosted: NPM Package
npx simstudio
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
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM — see the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.
Self-hosted: Manual Setup
Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector
- Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare # Set up pre-commit hooks
- Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:
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.
- Configure environment:
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"
- Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
- Start development servers:
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_KEYenvironment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value
Environment Variables
See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
