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?

    I’ll keep you updated on this. And yes, remote backups are one of our key differences compared to other systems: the agent-based architecture enables operations across multiple networks without requiring SSH tunnels or exposing databases publicly.
