Hi everyone,

I’m one of the maintainers of Portabase, an open-source platform for database backup and restore.

GitHub repo:https://github.com/Portabase/portabase

Website / Documentation:https://portabase.io/

About Portabase:

Portabase is an open-source, self-hosted platform dedicated to database backup and restore. It’s designed to be simple, reliable, and lightweight. The system uses a distributed architecture: a central server and agents (similar to Portainer) deployed close to the databases. This approach works particularly well in heterogeneous environments where databases are not on the same network.

Key features:

• Logical backup for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Redis, Valkey, and MongoDB
• Multiple storage options: local, S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Drive
• Notifications via Discord, Telegram, Slack, etc.
• Scheduled backups with flexible retention policies
• Ready-to-use Docker Compose and Helm Chart

What’s new in version 1.9.4:

• Ability to set a default notification system
• Additional event triggers for notifications, including agent healthchecks
• Refactored healthchecks at the database level
• Health front component for Agent and Database
• Additional unit tests on the agent side
• Agent-side separation of MySQL and MariaDB for improved database-specific support

Coming soon:

• More robust E2E test sequences to ensure system resilience
• Support for new databases: Microsoft SQL Server and Firebird

We welcome constructive feedback! Feel free to report bugs or suggest improvements/features.

Thanks for checking out Portabase!
