About

What PocketBase is

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.
