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?
