Guides

Practical, task-based walkthroughs — each answers one question with a complete, runnable config you can copy, run, and adapt. New to Sovrium? Start with the Quick Start, then come back here.

Deploy

Get a Sovrium app into production.

• Deploy with Docker — run the official container.
• Deploy on a VPS with systemd and Caddy — the binary as a service, with automatic HTTPS.
• Deploy on Scalingo — git-push deploy with a managed database.
• Deploy with Docker Compose and PostgreSQL — app + database as one stack.

Migrate to Sovrium

Bring an existing tool in-house — self-hosted and config-as-code.

• Migrate from Airtable — map a base to a Sovrium table.
• Migrate from Zapier — turn a Zap into an automation.

Integrations

Wire Sovrium to the services you run.

• Connect to PostgreSQL — switch off SQLite with one variable.
• Run AI locally with Ollama — private, key-free inference.
• Store files in S3-compatible storage — durable object storage.
• Send transactional email — auth and automation email over SMTP.
• Connect Claude over MCP — expose your app to an AI client.

Build with Sovrium

• Build a CRM — from the template, or a minimal config you grow.
• Start from a template — scaffold a working app with sovrium init.

Operations

Run a Sovrium app for the long haul.

• Back up & restore SQLite — a consistent one-file backup.
• Upgrade & rollback — move versions safely, forward-only migrations.
