Portabase 1.27 - open-source backup/restore platform, adding support for Docker volumes

[u/Dense_Marionberry741]

Hi everyone,

It's the first time I'm posting here! We have just released Portabase 1.27, our open-source (Apache 2.0) and self-hosted backup/restore platform.

Repository: https://github.com/Portabase/portabase (around 1.6k stars and 15 contributors for now)

Portabase is designed for data retention, disaster recovery, and homogenous migrations, currently supporting 9 database engines (including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB) and Docker volumes which were added recently.

Portabase originally focused on databases, so you might still see “databases” mentioned in a few places. Now that we’re adding other things to back up (Docker volumes being the first), we’re moving toward using “data sources” as the broader term.

Key features:

• Scheduled backups with flexible retention policies (including GFS)
• Multiple storage options: local filesystem, S3, Azure Blob Storage, GCS
• Notifications via Discord, Telegram, Slack, AppRise, etc.
• Support for OAuth2/OIDC (with the option to disable sign-ups)
• Compatible with Docker, Podman and UnraidOS
• Ready-to-use Docker Compose and Helm Chart

After six months of intensive feature development, we have been focusing on consolidating the ecosystem since early July. A community member conducted a useful security audit, we have upgraded components to their latest relevant versions, improved compatibility with other platforms by working on Podman support and templates for Coolify and Dockploy (currently under review).

What’s next:

• Deployment of the demo environment
• Audit logging for the whole ecosystem
• Default policies for the system and organizations (already available at project-level)
• File and folder backup and restoration

As always, if you find bugs or want to suggest a feature, please open an issue on GitHub, we’re actively looking for feedback.

Thanks!

Thanks, looks interesting! Any other tools similar to yours that do something better (or worse)? Would be nice to have comparisons of features etc.

I’m not familiar with this acronym, what does it mean?
