Lovable Cloud to Own Supabase Migration

Key Facts

  • Lovable Cloud cannot be disconnected once enabled
  • No direct SQL or dashboard access to Cloud database
  • Workaround: new Lovable project + import repo + connect own Supabase
  • Auth passwords cannot be exported — users must reset after migration
  • Storage files must be migrated manually (download + re-upload)

Decision Tree

  1. Want to keep Lovable as IDE?

    • New blank Lovable project → import GitHub repo → connect own Supabase
    • See "Disconnect Workaround" in migration-steps.md

  2. Want to switch IDE (Cursor/​Claude Code)?

    • GitHub export → clone locally → connect own Supabase via MCP
    • See "Full Migration" in migration-steps.md

  3. Need data export first?

  4. Having issues during migration?

Migration Workflow (Summary)

  1. Enable GitHub integration in Lovable (if not already)
  2. Export data using methods in export-methods.md
  3. Create new Supabase project (free tier works)
  4. Import schema + data into new project
  5. Update environment variables
  6. Migrate Storage files manually
  7. Notify users to reset passwords
