Overview
Supabase configuration for this project is split between:
- Dashboard settings (database, auth, integrations such as cron)
- Backend environment variables (Supabase URL + keys)
API keys
OpenQuok uses Supabase’s new API key format only — the legacy JWT-based anon / service_role keys are not accepted. Background:
| Role | Variable | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Public / client-side | PUBLIC_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY | sb_publishable_… |
| Server-side (elevated) | SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY | sb_secret_… |
Warning
Note
anon / service_role JWT keys, open Settings → API Keys in the Dashboard and create a Publishable key plus one or more Secret keys, then update your env vars to the new names.Steps
Create a Supabase project
Create a project in the Supabase Dashboard and keep your database password.
Collect API keys (production / hosted Supabase)
In the dashboard, open Settings → API Keys:
- Copy the Publishable key (starts with
sb_publishable_). - Create at least one Secret key (starts with
sb_secret_) for the backend.
…and set them in backend/.env.production.local:
PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project-ref.supabase.co
PUBLIC_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=sb_publishable_...
SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY=sb_secret_...Collect API keys (local development)
Local supabase start emits the new key format from Supabase CLI 2.45+. Pull them with:
cd backend
supabase status -o env…and set them in backend/.env.development.local:
PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:54321
PUBLIC_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=sb_publishable_...
SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY=sb_secret_...If supabase status still prints anon key / service_role key instead of Publishable key / Secret key, upgrade the CLI.
Configure auth settings (as needed)
If you use email confirmation or third-party providers, configure them in the Supabase Dashboard under Auth settings.
Cron on Supabase Cloud (pg_cron)
Some modules use a cron job (via pg_cron) on Supabase Cloud.
Warning
If you need to enable it manually, Supabase’s docs show the required SQL and grants.
