I built an open-source PostgreSQL backup manager — self-host it in one command

I got tired of writing pg_dump scripts and forgetting to check if they actually ran.

So I built Healthy Base — an open-source tool that automates your PostgreSQL backups
with a clean dashboard, scheduled jobs, and email alerts.

Demo

What it does

• ✅ One-click manual backups
• ✅ Scheduled backups via cron
• ✅ Encrypted cloud storage (MinIO/S3)
• ✅ Download, restore & mount any backup
• ✅ Email notifications for every event
• ✅ Multi-project support

Self-host in one command

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kiraaziz/healthy-base/main/docker-compose.yml \
  -o docker-compose.yml && docker compose up -d

That's it. No config files, no manual setup.

Or use the cloud version

If you don't want to manage infrastructure, there's a free hosted version at
👉 https://healthybase.cloud

Free plan includes 1 project, 3 backups, and 1 scheduled job — enough to get started.

Stack

• Next.js 15
• Prisma + PostgreSQL
• MinIO (S3-compatible storage)
• Docker + Coolify
