Portabase now handles backup/restore of Docker volumes (github.com)

Hi everyone,

I'm 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.

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

Thanks!

Is there any competition or is this the first of its kind for Docker? Curious as I'm new to self-hosting.

There are a few other tools. Docker Desktop has some backup-related tooling, but not through a web UI. Portainer may cover part of it too, but I’m not 100% sure.

You can also use generic file-level backup tools, since Docker volumes are basically files at the end of the day.

Portabase is more focused on backup and restore workflows. The goal is to have the full ecosystem around that: storage providers, notifications, retention policies, RBAC, agents, homogenous migration, etc.

Nice. I'd like to change Linux distros on my server but the main thing holding me back was all my containers, sidecars, reverse proxies, etc. If I could easily back up and restore that would be amazing.

Feel free to give it a try if you have time, and don’t hesitate to open GitHub issues if you run into any bugs.
