Overview
Autobase is an open source platform for running your own PostgreSQL as a managed service. From a single web console you deploy production ready PostgreSQL clusters, either highly available with Patroni, etcd and an HAProxy load balancer, or a lightweight single node, and then operate them over their whole lifecycle: scaling, switchover and failover, minor and major version upgrades, configuration changes, automated backups with pgBackRest or WAL-G, and built in monitoring. The console is the control plane and drives an Ansible automation engine; the database nodes themselves stay independent servers that you own, whether they run on a cloud provider or on your existing machines reached over SSH.
It suits teams that want the convenience of a database as a service while keeping the data, the servers and the costs entirely under their own control, rather than handing PostgreSQL to a hosted provider.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg ships the Autobase Community Edition console as a hardened appliance that answers over HTTPS within a minute or two of launch, with a per instance TLS certificate generated on first boot so the console loads in a secure context and its access token never crosses plain HTTP. Security is designed in for a tool that will hold the keys to your database fleet: no default login ships in the image, and on first boot every instance mints its own console access token and its own console datastore password into a file only the root user can read, so no two deployments share crypto material and the published example token is rejected before the console will start. Critically the image ships empty: it stores no target servers, no SSH keys and no database credentials, so nothing is ever pre wired with a baked secret, and the console datastore is bound to the machine itself rather than exposed on the network. The base is fully patched with unattended security updates enabled, and every image comes with a step by step deploy guide tested against the exact build and 24/7 cloudimg support.
