* fix(docs): preserve gif playback position in lightbox and clean up ui components - Capture currentTime on click and seek lightbox video to match using useLayoutEffect - Convert lightboxStartTime from useState to useRef (no independent render needed) - Apply same fix to ActionVideo in action-media.tsx - Remove dead AnimatedBlocks component (zero imports) - Fix language-dropdown to derive currentLang during render instead of mirroring into state via effect - Replace template literals with cn() in faq.tsx and video.tsx * fix(chat): prevent @-mention menu focus loss and stabilize render identity Radix DropdownMenu's FocusScope was restoring focus from the search input to the content root whenever registered menu items mounted or unmounted inside the content, interrupting typing after a keystroke or two. - Keep the default tree always mounted under `hidden` instead of swapping subtrees when the filter activates. - Render filtered results as plain <button role="menuitem"> so they do not participate in Radix's menu Collection. - Add activeIndex state with ArrowUp/Down/Enter keyboard nav, mouse-hover sync, and scrollIntoView so the highlighted row stays visible and users can see what Enter will select. While tracing the cascade that compounded the bug: - Hoist `select` in useWorkflowMap / useWorkspacesQuery / useFolderMap to module scope so TanStack Query caches the select result across renders. - Guard setSelectedContexts([]) with a functional updater that bails out when already empty, preventing a fresh [] literal from invalidating consumers that key on reference identity. - Wrap WorkspaceHeader in React.memo so it bails out on parent renders once its (now-stable) props are unchanged. Made-with: Cursor * remove extraneous comments * cleanup * fix(chat): apply same setState bail-out to clearContexts for consistency Matches the invariant we already established for the message effect: calling setSelectedContexts([]) against an already-empty array emits a fresh [] reference (Object.is bails out are not reference-level), which cascades through consumers that key on selectedContexts identity. clearContexts is part of the hook's public API so callers can't know whether the list is empty — make it safe for them.

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.
