Hi community,

I’m one of the maintainers of Portabase, and this is my first time sharing about it on Lemmy.

Portabase is an open-source platform for database backup and restore.

It’s designed to be simple, reliable, and lightweight, without exposing your databases to public networks. It works via a central server and edge agents (like Portainer), making it perfect for self-hosted or edge environments.

It currently supports 7 databases:

PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis and Valkey

Repository: https://github.com/Portabase/portabase

(we hit 500 stars recently!)

Key features:

  • Logical backups for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, SQLite, Redis, Valkey
  • Multiple storage backends: local filesystem, S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Drive
  • Notifications via Discord, Telegram, Slack, webhooks, etc.
  • Cron-based scheduling with flexible retention strategies
  • Agent-based architecture for secure, edge-friendly deployments
  • Ready-to-use Docker Compose setup and Helm Chart

What’s coming next:

  • Increasing test coverage
  • Extending database support

I’d love to hear from you: which database would you like to see supported next in Portabase?

    Is it possible for you to release a version on the unraid Community Apps catalog? https://unraid.net/community/apps

    I think it’s just a wiring into the dockerhub repo. Unraid can set up the container directly from dockerhub, but it has to guess at ports and variables, so it came out a bit janky when I tried doing that. Having it on CA proper would remove a barrier for entry getting it running on unraid.

        Thanks for looking into it :)

        Unraid is a linux-based server OS for NAS that can run VMs, dockers, and other things - and the CA is the go-to for installing 99% of the plugins and dockers that one would typically use.

        I’ve not heard of those two you mentioned, but I’ve heard proxmox mentioned in the same context, so it could be considered similar to that?

          Okay, yeah, I see. Unraid Community Apps is probably closer to something like Proxmox VE Scripts. Dokploy and Coolify are more like libraries of templates for Docker services.
