## Core architectural fix
Move all react-pdf / pdfjs-dist code into a new pdf-viewer.tsx module and
import it exclusively via next/dynamic({ ssr: false }). pdfjs-dist v5
references DOMMatrix at module evaluation time, which crashed SSR. The
previous workaround (a DOMMatrix polyfill in instrumentation.ts) is removed
in favour of this proper hard module boundary.
## PDF viewer improvements
- Cursor-anchored zoom: Ctrl/⌘+wheel and trackpad-pinch now zoom toward the
cursor instead of the top-left corner. Toolbar ± buttons anchor to the
viewport centre. Uses the canonical scroll-adjust formula used by map and
canvas viewers.
- Horizontal scroll: dropping flex-col from the scroll container lets the
zoomed pages wrapper overflow naturally and produces a horizontal scrollbar
at zoom > 1×.
- Loading skeleton: replaced the conditional inline skeleton with an
absolute inset-0 overlay so it fills the scroll container correctly in all
layout contexts.
- Shadow tokens: fixed shadow-[var(--shadow-medium)] and
shadow-[var(--shadow-card)] to use the Tailwind utility classes
shadow-medium and shadow-card directly.
## File viewer cleanup
- data-table.tsx: wrap setInputRef in useCallback([]) so the ref callback
has a stable identity across renders. Previously the inline function got a
new identity on every keystroke (because editValue state changed), causing
React to teardown/remount the ref and re-run node.select() on every
character typed.
- preview-panel.tsx: keep useMemo on ctxValue passed to Context.Provider —
Context uses Object.is, so a new object every render causes unnecessary
consumer re-renders.
- resource-content.tsx: remove unnecessary useCallback/useMemo wrappers on
handlers and derived values that have no memoization observers.
## API route
- Wrap content route with withRouteHandler for automatic request-ID tracking
via AsyncLocalStorage; remove manual generateRequestId() calls.
- Add resourceName to audit record; add encoding param support (base64 /
utf-8).
## Query hooks
- Include key (storage object key) in both useWorkspaceFileContent and
useWorkspaceFileBinary query key tuples so the cache is correctly busted
when a file is re-uploaded with a new storage key.
## Other
- Add Suspense boundaries to files/page.tsx and files/[fileId]/page.tsx
(required for useSearchParams inside the Files component).
- Add mmd to SUPPORTED_CODE_EXTENSIONS (Mermaid diagrams).
- Add https: to CSP img-src.
- Remove ==== separator comments from lib/copilot/constants.ts.
- New dependencies: pdfjs-dist 5.4.296, mermaid 11.14.0,
monaco-editor 0.55.1, @monaco-editor/react 4.7.0.

Quickstart
Cloud-hosted: sim.ai
Self-hosted: NPM Package
npx simstudio
Note
Docker must be installed and running on your machine.
Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-p, --port <port> |
Port to run Sim on (default 3000) |
--no-pull |
Skip pulling latest Docker images |
Self-hosted: Docker Compose
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM — see the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.
Self-hosted: Manual Setup
Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector
- Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare # Set up pre-commit hooks
- Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:
docker run --name simstudio-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=simstudio -p 5432:5432 -d pgvector/pgvector:pg17
Or install manually via the pgvector guide.
- Configure environment:
cp apps/sim/.env.example apps/sim/.env
# Create your secrets
perl -i -pe "s/your_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_internal_api_secret/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_api_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
# DB configs for migration
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env
# Edit both .env files to set DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/simstudio"
- Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
- Start development servers:
bun run dev:full # Starts Next.js app and realtime socket server
Or run separately: bun run dev (Next.js) and cd apps/sim && bun run dev:sockets (realtime).
Copilot API Keys
Copilot is a Sim-managed service. To use Copilot on a self-hosted instance:
- Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Copilot and generate a Copilot API key
- Set
COPILOT_API_KEYenvironment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value
Environment Variables
See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
