#### 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.
