Hello all!

I’m one of the maintainers of Portabase, I share about it one month ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/foss/comments/1sd4roo/portabase\_v111\_open\_source\_db\_backuprestore\_tool/) and I have some updates!

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

Database homogenous migration is now built-in!

Previously, migrating meant:

• Download backup from the source DB
• Upload & restore it into the target DB

Now: no download, no upload, everything happens directly through the GUI.

It works with all supported databases, and migrations can be done within the same organization.

We also added support for Microsoft SQL Server! It still needs broader community testing to help identify bugs or edge cases we may have missed.

Quick recap : Portabase is an open-source platform for database backup and restore.

We now support 9 databases:

• PostgreSQL
• MariaDB and MySQL
• SQLite
• MongoDB
• Redis and Valkey
• Firebird SQL
• Microsoft SQL Server

If you’re using Microsoft SQL Server (or any other supported database), we’d really appreciate your feedback. Feel free to open issues if you find any bugs.

Hi everyone,

I’m one of the maintainers of Portabase. I wanted to share a major update since my last post about version 1.4.0.

Repo: https://github.com/Portabase/portabase (Any star would be amazing ❤️)

Database migration is now built-in!

Previously, migrating meant:

1. Download backup from the source DB
2. Upload & restore it into the target DB

Now: no download, no upload, everything happens directly through the GUI.

It works with all supported databases, and migrations can be done within the same organization.

Quick recap if you’re new to Portabase:

Portabase is an open-source, self-hosted platform dedicated to database backup and restore. The web UI is designed to be simple and intuitive, to avoid hours of configuration. 

It uses a distributed architecture: a central server + edge agents deployed close to your databases. Works great when your databases aren’t all on the same network.

Currently supported databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Firebird SQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis and Valkey

What’s new since 1.4.0:

• Migration feature (obviously)
• Launched a blog on the website for updates, guides, and news
• Support for Redis, Valkey, and Firebird SQL
• Helm chart for simplified deployment on Kubernetes
• Health checks for both the database and the agent (with optional notifications)

Feedback is welcome. Feel free to open an issue if you run into any bugs or have suggestions.

Thanks!
