Service Commands

The nself service command manages which optional nSelf services are enabled in a project. Optional services (MinIO, Redis, Functions, MLflow, Mail, Search) are enabled/disabled here — they appear in the generateddocker-compose.yml after you run nself build.

nself service enable functions      # Enable serverless runtime
nself service enable mlflow         # Enable ML tracking

Optional services

Required services (PostgreSQL, Hasura, Auth, Nginx) are always enabled and cannot be disabled. Optional service configuration (URLs, credentials, provider-specific settings) is done via .env variables — see the Configuration Reference.
