About Hosting Sim Studio

Deployment Steps

All required settings are pre-configured, but there are many other configuration options for LLMs, emails, etc.

1. Import the template and wait for all services to be running
2. Make sure the migrations service shows as COMPLETED before continuing, otherwise you won’t be able to register!
3. Click on the simstudio service and visit the domain (you can also add your own!)
4. Click on Start now on the homepage and create an account

For more configuration options, take a look at the .env.example file for the most important ones, or the .env.ts file for an extensive list*. (*it seems many of these variables are unused or deprecated!)

Post-Deployment Setup

If you wish to prevent other users accessing your server, you can set the DISABLE_REGISTRATION environment variable to true.
