Hey everyone!

I’m one of the main maintainers of Portabase. A couple of weeks ago I shared it here, and I’ve been actively contributing to its development since.

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

What it is:

Portabase is an open-source, self-hosted tool for backing up and restoring databases. It’s simple, reliable, and doesn’t require heavy dependencies. It uses a central server + lightweight agents (e.g., Portainer), so your databases don’t need to be exposed publicly.

Main features:

• Logical backups for PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, and now MongoDB
• Cron-based scheduling
• Flexible retention strategies
• Agent-based architecture for self-hosted & edge setups
• Ready-to-use Docker Compose

What’s new in v1.2.3:

• MongoDB support (with or without auth)
• Storage backend redesign: assign different backends per database, or even multiple for redundancy
• Docker image now supports ARM
• Google Drive Storage is available
• New agent in Rust

Coming next:

• New storage backends: GCS and Azure Blob
• SQLite and Redis support

Portabase grows with community feedback—issues, feature requests, and contributions are all welcome. Would love to hear what you think would be most useful next!
