`self-host` is the namespace for commands that only apply when you run your own [`@c15t/backend`](/docs/self-host/v2). The hosted product (inth.com) handles these automatically.

## Usage

Run the interactive picker:

```bash
pnpm dlx @c15t/cli self-host
```

Or invoke a subcommand directly:

```bash
pnpm dlx @c15t/cli self-host migrate
```

## Subcommands

### `migrate`

Runs the latest database migrations for your configured adapter.

```bash
pnpm dlx @c15t/cli self-host migrate
```

`@c15t/backend` supports Drizzle, Kysely, Prisma, TypeORM, and Mongo adapters. The migrate command picks the right migration runner based on your `c15t-backend.config.ts`.

**Tip:** run `migrate` after every `c15t` upgrade. New schema fields are introduced as additive migrations.
