Hi everyone,

We’re happy to share that Portabase now supports Docker volume backup and restore!

Portabase is an open-source, self-hosted backup and restore platform, currently supporting 9 databases including PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, and more.

We’re now expanding it to cover Docker volumes too, because many self-hosted apps do not store critical data only in databases.

Typical use cases include WordPress uploads, Nextcloud user files, media libraries, app configuration data, and more generally any self-hosted service where critical data lives in Docker volumes.

The goal is still the same: make backup and restore simple, reliable, and easy to operate. Portabase uses a central server with lightweight agents running close to your workloads.

We’d love to hear from people running self-hosted stacks:

Does Docker volume backup and restore solve a real problem for you?

What restore workflows would you expect?

Which Docker integrations would make this even more useful?

Are there weird edge cases we should handle early?

If you find bugs, please open an issue on GitHub, we’re actively looking for feedback.

Thanks!
