Hi @luka and @Raphael and @Joyce congratulations on the launch BUT THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR ME.

The Weweb 3.0 update now uses Supabase personal access tokens for configuring the data plugin. But that does not work for Self-hosted Supabase projects.

Supabase doesn’t generate personal access tokens for self-hosted projects because that is supposed to be used for accessing cloud projects. See [this resolved issue](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/issues/13508). So right now I cannot create any new projects on Weweb forever and ever. And I DARE NOT edit my current projects’ backends or else, they will stop working, THIS IS A BIG BIG ISSUE AND THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME FOR ME TO HAVE THIS. All my apps need HIPAA compliance AND data residency. So I cannot use Supabase Cloud but I must self host it. And this weweb 3.0 has put a stumbling block for me. So I am just stuck with my 2 existing projects. PLEASE PLEASE help. I have already combed through the Supabase docs tonight franctically, there is no way to create Personal Access Tokens. So how else does one use the weweb data plugin? Can we have both the URL and Public Access Token option back in addition to this personal access token??

You should simply be able to add the postgres connection string and the other credentials manually via the advanced tab instead of doing the link, right? There is an advanced tab where you can fill this out.

Hey man. What’s up. Thanks for stopping by. I can’t see any “Advanced” tab in the data plug-in configuration page. It just shows a single input field requesting for “Personal Access token”. I raised it with customer support and they said they are aware of the issue and will “fix it”. Could you shed more light on where I could find this “advanced tab”. Is it the data plug-in page. Or elsewhere?

I see now what you mean. Yeah, I think it should be non mandatory then. In the following step you can specify the connection string and all the old stuff like the URL etc.

My supabase connection has broken this morning as well. The Plugins freez when I open and click continue on connection.

When I open the editor I get Error while requesting the supabase project.

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for reporting this on the board. I was thinking of making a new project using supabase installed in self-hosted. When I encountered this issue, I had to reconsider. Luckily, the original project did not use any connection to the 3rd party plugin that weweb created because I was worried this problem would happen.

If WEWEB cannot fix it, I recommend using an open source backend that creates an API to connect instead, such as Motoradmin, which can connect directly to supabase, or use another backend, such as Nocobase, Budibase.

Hi everyone, it has been fixed before the end of the last week, we added another connection mode that let you bypass the oauth connection so you can connect any supabase project (local, selfhost,…) without having to connect your account.

 ![CleanShot 2025-02-17 at 11.50.25](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/6/6ae653719ea7ec2755f53886dd00e5db9d9e08b1.png)

If you still have any issue please do not hesitate to report it

Stuck here for minutes and then “invalid configuration” error (red alert in left bottom)

Sorry but it really blocks all my service and my custommers are complaining a lot !!

The weidest is that all is green and checked … on both supabase and supabase Auth Pluggins

Also, I can access my Tables in the Backend tab !! and my users in the Auth tab …  
So strange ! (on reload page i have “failed to load pluggin supabase …)”

You should be able to still connect by doing what Alexis has shown a couple of replies above. It’s the same as the previous way to do it.

Thanks for your answer !  
However even the old method detailed by Alexis was not working anymore  
I just solved it by :

=\> Upgraded Supabase to PRO that triggered a “Project Restart”

**Anyway, could I get some help to make sure this does not happend anymore ? I have a ton of unhappy custommers I have to answer to 🙃**

Not saying it’s weweb’s fault or whatever, it is just something that cannot happend anymore 😉

Some more info to unserstand the bug : instead of error fetching, it would fetch for a while then timeout !

Have a good evening

If it was solved after upgrading I guess you reached a limit or your instance was put in pause maybe ? I don’t think it’s related to our integration if it was solved by a project restart

If it happen again please open a ticket on [support.weweb.io](http://support.weweb.io) and we will take a look asap!

Thanks for the answer.

I think you are right and that it comes from Supabase  
However : the database size was already updated to PRO (a week ago) and what I actually upgraded later to resolve is the “Compute and Disk” that does not automatically upgrades on the free to Pro update ([Compute and Disk | Supabase Docs](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/platform/compute-and-disk))

In the link i provided, there is a “max DB size (recommended)” for the compute discs, that’s what may have gone wrong … If it is the case, It would be appreciated from Supabase to send an email in these situations or raise an error on their dashboard … I’ll contact them.

Note that the bug happened at a “peak” of the app usage so … I hope it wont happen again and if it does I’ll definitely open a ticket.

Thank you and have a good day !

I’m trying to connect a self-hosted Supabase.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/d/d7f2905257c7ab65967e85691b70b337d388e815.png)

The “connect” button is disabled. Postman works (with apikey & Authorization: bearer).
