* chore(deps): upgrade next.js to 16.2.4 - Bump next and @next/env to 16.2.4 across root, apps/sim, apps/docs - Replace next-runtime-env's env() helper (calls unstable_noStore(), rejected by Next 16.2 outside request scope) with a direct window.__ENV / process.env getter - Add export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic' on landing /privacy and /terms pages so NEXT_PUBLIC_* runtime env reads aren't baked at build * fix(whitelabel): force dynamic rendering for manifest.ts Without this, NEXT_PUBLIC_BRAND_* values are baked into the manifest at build time. Pairs with the next-runtime-env removal in the prior commit, restoring Docker runtime injection for whitelabel deployments. * fix(oauth): wrap consent page useSearchParams in Suspense Next 16.2's stricter prerender check fails the build when useSearchParams() is used without a Suspense boundary. Splits the client component into an outer wrapper and inner body. * fix(whitelabel): force dynamic rendering for landing segment Client components in (landing) (e.g. Navbar) read NEXT_PUBLIC_BRAND_* via getEnv. Without this, SSR prerender would bake the build-time process.env values into HTML, mismatching window.__ENV after hydration in Docker runtime-env deployments. Cascades to all landing routes via the layout. * revert(whitelabel): drop force-dynamic from landing layout Cascading force-dynamic neutered dynamicParams = false + generateStaticParams on /blog/[slug], /integrations/[slug], /models/[provider], /models/[provider]/[model] — killing static prerender for SEO-critical pages. The hydration concern only materializes for whitelabel Docker deployments where build-time and runtime NEXT_PUBLIC_BRAND_* differ; those deployments can set the vars at build instead. Keeping force-dynamic on /privacy, /terms, and /manifest where it actually matters. * fix(prerender): wrap useSearchParams callsites for Next 16.2 Next 16.2 fails the build when a client component using useSearchParams() is statically prerendered without a Suspense boundary. - Wrap landing Navbar in Suspense (imported by /oauth/consent and other pages) - Add force-dynamic to reset-password, invite/[id], and unsubscribe pages whose client bodies call useSearchParams * fix(navbar): preserve SSR HTML, drop Suspense bailout Reading useSearchParams() forced a Suspense fallback that emitted no navbar HTML during SSR — leaving crawlers and no-JS users without nav. The 'home' query param only affects client-side link targets, so read it from window.location in an effect after hydration. Restores full SSR navbar markup. * chore: trim verbose comments in next.js upgrade The force-dynamic export name is self-documenting; the remaining env.ts comment is tightened to the essential WHY (why we don't use next-runtime-env's helper).

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.
