Self-hosting

1. Supabase setup

1. Create a Supabase project.
2. Enable Email Auth (Authentication → Providers → Email) and disable email confirmation.
3. Apply the schema. The full schema lives in [supabase/migrations/](supabase/migrations/). With the Supabase CLI:

``bash supabase link --project-ref supabase db push ``

This creates every table, index, RLS policy, and foreign key the app needs. No local Postgres is involved — migrations run against your hosted project.

1. Copy the service role key from Project Settings → API and use it as SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY.

2. Environment variables

| Variable | Description | | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | SUPABASE_URL | Your Supabase project URL | | SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY | Supabase service role key (bypasses RLS) | | OAUTH_CLIENT_ID | Random string for OAuth client identification | | OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET | Random string for OAuth client authentication | | GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID | (optional) Google OAuth client ID for "Sign in with Google" | | GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET | (optional) Google OAuth client secret | | OFF_USER_AGENT | Open Food Facts User-Agent for barcode lookups, in the form AppName (email) | | PORT | Server port (default: 8080) |

> Note: The HTML files in public/ include a Google Analytics tag (G-1K4HRB2R8X). If you're self-hosting, remove or replace the gtag snippet in public/index.html, public/login.html, and public/privacy.html.

Generate OAuth credentials:

openssl rand -hex 16   # use as OAUTH_CLIENT_ID
openssl rand -hex 32   # use as OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET

3. Google sign-in (optional)

Email/password works out of the box. To also offer "Continue with Google", follow [docs/google-auth-setup.md](docs/google-auth-setup.md) to create a Google OAuth client, enable the Google provider in Supabase, and set GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID / GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET.

Development

bun install
cp .env.example .env   # fill in your credentials
bun run dev             # starts with hot reload on http://localhost:8080
