Overview

PocketBase is an open source backend that packages a SQLite database, a REST API with realtime subscriptions, authentication and file storage into a single binary. Developers define collections in a dashboard and immediately get a CRUD API, making it a self hosted backend for web and mobile apps.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships PocketBase as a systemd service behind nginx with the database on a dedicated resizable data disk, so you skip installation and proxy configuration. Every instance boots with a unique superuser password stored in a root only file and PocketBase bound to loopback, reachable only through the proxy, with 24/7 support for deployment, OAuth2 and TLS included.
