Backend with an embedded database, authentication and file storage

PocketBase provides a SQLite database, authentication, file storage, realtime subscriptions and a web dashboard in one application.

The service starts on 127.0.0.1:8090. Create the first administrator:

sudo pocketbase superuser create admin@example.com 'your-password'

Open http://localhost:8090/_/ to manage the application. Data, hooks, migrations and static files are stored under /var/snap/pocketbase/common.

To listen on your network:

sudo snap set pocketbase address=0.0.0.0:8090

Use SMTP for email and a reverse proxy for HTTPS. Updates come through snap refresh; the upstream self-update command is not included.
