PocketBase
Open-source backend in a single file — Realtime, Auth, File Storage, REST API
About PocketBase
PocketBase is an open source backend consisting of: - Embedded **SQLite** database with realtime subscriptions - Built-in **Auth** management with multiple providers - Convenient **Admin Dashboard** UI - Simple **REST-ish API** for managing your data - **File storage** with image transformations Ships as a single executable file — no external dependencies. Perfect for SaaS, mobile apps, and rapid prototyping. **After deploy:** Visit `/_/` (e.g. http://your-host:port/_/) to create your first superuser via the setup wizard. The env vars are stored for reference but the first admin must be created through the web UI.

How it works
- Sign in and pick a server (free plan: connect your own VPS).
- Click deploy — Pushify pulls the image, wires networking and HTTPS, runs the health check.
- Open the app at its URL. Updates, restarts and logs live in the dashboard.
