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.
