Current content
The development setup guide currently covers Docker/Tilt-based workflows and includes a generic external PostgreSQL configuration example. However, it does not provide a Supabase-specific walkthrough for setting up persistent PostgreSQL (and S3-compatible storage) for first-time contributors, particularly those using GitHub Codespaces.
As a result, contributors may encounter confusion around:
- Which Supabase connection mode to use (e.g. session pooler vs direct)
- Common IPv4 / pooler-related connection issues in Codespaces
- How to verify that the Extralit server is successfully connected to Supabase after ingestion
Suggested fix or improvement
I suggest adding an optional subsection to the development setup guide that outlines how to use Supabase as an external PostgreSQL backend during local development.
This could include high-level guidance such as:
- Selecting the Session Pooler connection in Supabase when working from IPv4-only environments (e.g. GitHub Codespaces)
- Example environment variable configuration for connecting Extralit to a Supabase PostgreSQL database
- Simple steps to verify the connection (e.g. successful ingestion and data visibility in Supabase)
This would help reduce setup friction for new contributors.
