* v0.6.29: login improvements, posthog telemetry (#4026) * feat(posthog): Add tracking on mothership abort (#4023) Co-authored-by: Theodore Li <theo@sim.ai> * fix(login): fix captcha headers for manual login (#4025) * fix(signup): fix turnstile key loading * fix(login): fix captcha header passing * Catch user already exists, remove login form captcha * fix: use context variables for block outputs in function block code When a function block references another block's output via <BlockA.result>, the executor previously embedded the full value as a JavaScript literal directly in the code string. For large outputs (>50 KB), this caused the code string to exceed the terminal console display limit, making inputs appear truncated or replaced with { __simTruncated: true } in the UI. Instead, block output references in function block code are now stored as named global variables (__blockRef_N) in the isolated VM context. The code string only contains the compact variable name, keeping it small regardless of the referenced value size. Loop/parallel/env/workflow references are still inlined as literals since the API route has no way to resolve them independently. The _runtimeContextVars key is filtered from sanitizeInputsForLog so it does not appear in execution logs or SSE events. Pre-resolved context variables are merged with any variables produced by the API route resolveCodeVariables, with executor values taking precedence. Fixes #4195 * fix: address Cursor and Greptile bot review comments - Pass preResolvedContextVariables through to shellEnvs for Shell language (Cursor: shell loses pre-resolved block refs, executes against undefined vars) - Remove duplicate CodeExecutionOutput interface declaration (Cursor + Greptile: dead duplicate declaration in tools/function/types.ts) - Deduplicate identical block references in resolveCodeWithContextVars so the same <BlockA.result> reused multiple times shares one __blockRef_N slot (Greptile P2: avoid duplicating large payloads across the wire) * fix: shell block references and complex env value serialization Two follow-ups to the function-block context-variable refactor: - resolveCodeWithContextVars now emits `$__blockRef_N` for shell function blocks so the script dereferences the env var injected by the executor. Other languages still receive the bare identifier. - The function-execute route now JSON-stringifies non-primitive values when building shell env vars, replacing the previous `String(v)` call that produced `[object Object]` for objects/arrays.

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.
