Getting Started

Self-host PowerSync in your own infrastructure (PowerSync Open Edition or PowerSync Enterprise Self-Hosted Edition).

The PowerSync Open Edition is currently considered a beta release as it still requires more detailed documentation and guides.

From a stability perspective the Open Edition is production-ready as it uses the same codebase as our Cloud version.

Please reach out on our Discord if you have any questions not yet covered in these docs.

The PowerSync Service can be self-hosted using Docker. It is published to Docker Hub as journeyapps/powersync-service

Note that the PowerSync Dashboard is currently not available in the PowerSync Open Edition.

We have five starting points, detailed below:
