Lovable Supabase Auth Stopped Working After Deploy

Signup and login break after moving a Lovable app off the preview URL. Redirect URLs, env vars, and RLS policies are usually the culprit.

Export a Lovable App from Preview to Your Own VPS

Step-by-step path to export a Lovable-built app and run it on your own VPS with custom domain, database, backups, and ownership.

Move a Base44 App to Your Own VPS

Base44 apps need a real server, custom domain, and backups before production. Move from preview to a VPS you own with lower recurring costs.

Bolt.new App Fails to Deploy

Bolt.new apps often fail when moved from preview to a real server. Missing build config, env vars, or wrong start command are the usual causes.

Move a Cursor App to Your Own VPS

Cursor-built apps need a real server, env vars, and custom domain before production. Move from local to a VPS you own with lower monthly cost.

Bolt.new Environment Variables Not Working in Production

Environment variables that worked in Bolt.new preview stop working after export. Public vs private, build-time vs runtime, and wrong values are the common traps.

Move a v0 App to Your Own VPS

v0-generated apps need a repo, env vars, and server process before going live. Move your app from preview to a VPS you own with lower recurring cost.

Move a Replit App to Your Own VPS

Replit apps need a real server, env vars, HTTPS, and backups before production. Move from the editor to a VPS you own with lower recurring cost.

Bolt.new App Cannot Connect to Supabase in Production

Supabase connection failures after moving a Bolt.new app off preview. Wrong URLs, missing keys, and network config are the usual causes.

Your AI-built app fails on Vercel. Fix build errors, edge runtime mismatches, env vars, and framework presets. Get your app live on a real server.

Vercel Pulled Your Deploy Due to Bot Traffic

Vercel may suspend or throttle your deployment when bot traffic spikes exceed plan limits. Here is how to recover and prevent it.

Vercel Is Too Expensive for a Small App

Vercel pricing jumps from free to $20 per seat per month. Small apps and AI prototypes rarely need that. A VPS costs less and does not restrict seats.

Supabase Auth Redirect URL Broken After Domain Change

Supabase auth redirects to the wrong URL after changing domains. Login, magic links, and OAuth all break until redirect URLs are updated.

Self-Host Supabase on a VPS: Production Checklist

Supabase can be self-hosted with Docker Compose on a VPS. This checklist covers persistent volumes, backups, env vars, and restore testing.

Supabase Row Level Security Errors in Production

Row Level Security policies block legitimate queries in production. Missing policies, wrong roles, and service role key exposure are common causes.

Cursor-Built App Won't Deploy to Production

Apps built with Cursor often fail to deploy because of missing dependencies, wrong build config, or absent environment variables.

Works on My Machine but Not in Production

Your app runs fine locally but breaks on the server. Missing env vars, different Node versions, hardcoded paths, and absent services are the usual culprits.

Production Checklist for AI-Built Apps

Go from generated code to live production. Domain, SSL, secrets, database hardening, backups, monitoring, and zero-lock-in handover for any AI-built app.

Move a Bolt.new App to Your Own VPS

Bolt.new apps need a real server, env vars, and custom domain before production. Move from the builder to a VPS you own with lower hosting spend.

Base44 App Won't Deploy to Production

Base44 apps can look finished in preview but fail on a real server because of missing env vars, build config, or the wrong start command.

v0 App Won't Deploy to Production

v0-generated apps need a real repo, env vars, and server process before going live. Fix deployment issues and launch on your own domain with HTTPS.

Replit App Won't Deploy to Production

Replit apps can run in the editor but still need a real server, correct environment variables, and a production domain before launch.
