* fix(helm): preserve STS serviceName + networkPolicy.egress back-compat
Greptile flagged two real upgrade-breaking changes vs the prior chart:
1. statefulset-postgresql spec.serviceName flipped from <name>-postgresql
to <name>-postgresql-headless. spec.serviceName is immutable, so any
existing install would hit 'Forbidden: updates to statefulset spec ...'
on helm upgrade. Revert to the original name (the headless Service in
services.yaml is added alongside, not as a swap).
2. networkPolicy.egress changed from a list to a map ({extraRules, exceptCidrs}),
silently dropping any custom egress list set by existing users. Restore
the original list semantics for networkPolicy.egress and move cloud-metadata
blocking to a sibling top-level field networkPolicy.egressExceptCidrs.
Adds NOTES.txt upgrade-notes entry covering both + the ESO v1→v1beta1 default
flip (functionally a no-op, but worth surfacing).
* docs(helm): update README egress reference to new key name
* fix(helm): revert copilot-postgresql STS serviceName too (same immutability issue)
Audit caught that the main fix in d5c2e8ef5 missed statefulset-copilot-postgres.yaml,
which had the identical immutable-field rename from -copilot-postgresql to
-copilot-postgresql-headless. Same upgrade-break vector for anyone running
copilot.enabled=true on a prior chart version. Mirrors the fix and comment
from the main postgresql STS.
* improvement(helm): postgres startupProbe + otel-collector NetworkPolicy
- add startupProbe defaults for both postgresql + copilot-postgresql STSs
to shield liveness from slow first-boot (pgvector init, WAL replay)
- render a dedicated NetworkPolicy for the otel-collector when
telemetry.enabled=true (OTLP ingress from app/realtime/copilot, DNS +
HTTPS egress for forwarding to external observability backends)
- document why copilot + copilot-postgresql intentionally do NOT ship
dedicated NetworkPolicies (Redis URL is unknowable at render time)
- regression test pins the otel-collector NP at documentIndex 3
* test(helm): assert custom egress applied to realtime NP too
The prior test claimed coverage of both app and realtime NPs but only
asserted documentIndex 0. Split into two tests so a regression that drops
custom egress from realtime would fail loudly.
* docs(helm-skill): trim narrative bloat in values-model
Cut the historical 'Layer 2 was added in chart 1.0.0' note and the
generic 'single source of truth' framing. Kept the two actionable
points: ESO requires mapping Layer 1 keys; app.env overrides
envDefaults.

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.
