Managed PocketBaseFree plan available

Your PocketBase, without the server underneath it.

The same single binary you would run yourself, on a machine somebody else keeps up.

Create an instanceRead the docs

  • It is ordinary PocketBase

    Not a fork. The PocketBase docs describe your instance exactly.

  • Backups you can take yourself

    A zip of the whole pb_data directory, on demand, from the admin.

  • One machine, one region

    Its own container and SQLite file, in a region you chose.

  • No lock-in to undo

    Point the SDK elsewhere and go. No format to convert.

POCKETBASE

Your whole backend, without writing one.

One open-source program that is already your database, REST API, auth, file storage and job scheduler.

Design your tables in a visual editor. No SQL, no migration files.

client.js
// JavaScript SDK
import PocketBase from 'pocketbase';

const pb = new PocketBase('https://my-pocketbase.pocketbasecloud.com');

// list and search 'posts' with filters and sorting
const list = await pb.collection('posts').getList(1, 50, {
  filter: 'published = true && created > @todayStart',
  sort: '-created,title',
  expand: 'author',
});

Ready to use out of the box

Collections, auth and file storage are there the moment the instance boots. Nothing to wire together first.

Design your tables in a visual editor. No SQL, no migration files.

Every table gets a REST API the moment you create it - filters, sorting, access rules. You write none of it.

Sign-up, passwords and email verification are already built. Add Google or GitHub sign-in with two keys.

Upload files straight onto a record. Thumbnails are made on request, not on upload.

Subscribe once and get changes as they happen. No polling loop, no second service.

Add your own endpoints in JavaScript, or run code before and after a record is saved.

Cron jobs on the same instance. No worker service, no external scheduler.

CLI

Administer it without opening the dashboard

The portal and the CLI reach the same instance. Create it, point the CLI at it, and the collections, records, hooks and backups are all one command away.

app — zsh
# once, on your machine
$ pbc cloud pb create

The same tool, every day after

  • pbc cloud pb lsevery instance and its status
  • pbc cloud pb hooks pushship a JS hook from the repo
  • pbc cloud env setset an encrypted variable
  • pbc cloud logsfollow the instance log

Instance commands act on whichever instance "pbc use" selected, so the same script works against a colleague's instance or your own.
