Hi community,

I’m one of the maintainers of Portabase, I shared it here for the first time two weeks ago and I have now some updates!

After an initial request from a community user in mid-January, and a few more along the way, we’ve finally added support for Firebird SQL. It seems to have a solid community behind it even though I hadn’t heard of it before.

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

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

So it now we support 8 databases: PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis, Valkey and Firebird SQL

What’s new in version 1.10:

  • Support for Firebird SQL (obviously)
  • Healthchecks for both the database and the agent (with optional notifications)
  • End-to-end tests to prevent regressions (coverage is still light, but we’re working on it)

What’s coming next:

  • Support for Microsoft SQL Server

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