Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Hi everyone,

I’m one of the maintainers of Portabase. I already shared the project here recently, but we have a major update: REST API is now available!

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

This is still a first version and it will be extended over the coming weeks.

Since this was requested by the community, the goal is to make Portabase easier to integrate into automation workflows, CI pipelines, n8n scenarios, and other external tools.

Swagger with OpenAPI documentation is also available: https://portabase.io/docs/dashboard/api/introduction

This should make it easier to explore the available endpoints and start testing.

Quick recap for those who do not know the project yet: Portabase is an open-source platform for database backup and restore, built on an agent-based architecture with one central server and lightweight agents deployed next to your databases.

We now support 9 databases:

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

As always, feedback is very welcome. Feel free to open an issue if you find a bug or have suggestions.
