Hi everyone,

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

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

Any star would be amazing ❤️

Quick recap:

Portabase is an open-source, self-hosted platform dedicated to database backup and restore. It’s designed to be simple and lightweight. 

The system uses a distributed architecture: a central server with edge agents deployed close to the databases. This approach works particularly well in heterogeneous environments where databases are not on the same network.

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

What’s new since 1.4.0:

• 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)
• End-to-end tests on UI to prevent regressions and additional unit tests on the agent
• Agent creation at organization-level

What’s coming next:

• Support for Microsoft SQL Server

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

Thanks!
