Databasement is a web application for managing database server backups. It allows you to register database servers (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB, SQLite, Firebird, Redis/Valkey), test connections, schedule automated backups, and restore snapshots to any registered server.

Features​

  • Multi-database support: Manage MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB, SQLite, Firebird, and Redis/Valkey servers
  • SSH tunnel support: Connect to databases in private networks through a bastion/jump server
  • Automated backups: Schedule recurring backups with customizable retention
  • Storage volumes: Store backups locally, on S3-compatible storage, Azure Blob Storage, Samba/SMB shares, or via SFTP/FTP
  • Cross-server restore: Restore snapshots from one server to another
  • Failure notifications: Get alerted via Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Pushover, Gotify, or Webhook when jobs fail
  • User management: Multi-user support with two-factor authentication
  • Automation: REST API and MCP server for scripting, CI/CD, and AI assistant integration
  • Simple deployment: Single container with built-in web server, queue worker, and scheduler

Quick Start​

# Run the container
docker run -d \
  --name databasement \
  -p 2226:2226 \
  -e DB_CONNECTION=sqlite \
  -e DB_DATABASE=/data/database.sqlite \
  -e ENABLE_QUEUE_WORKER=true \
  -v ./databasement-data:/data \
