DBackupDatabase Backup Automation

Quick Start ​

Get DBackup running in minutes with Docker:

docker run -d --name dbackup -p 3000:3000 \
  -e ENCRYPTION_KEY="$(openssl rand -hex 32)" \
  -e BETTER_AUTH_SECRET="$(openssl rand -base64 32)" \
  -e BETTER_AUTH_URL="http://localhost:3000" \
  -v "$(pwd)/db:/app/db" \
  -v "$(pwd)/backups:/backups" \
  -v "$(pwd)/storage:/app/storage" \
  skyfay/dbackup:latest

services:
  dbackup:
    image: skyfay/dbackup:latest
    container_name: dbackup
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    environment:
      - ENCRYPTION_KEY=  # openssl rand -hex 32
      - BETTER_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
      - BETTER_AUTH_SECRET=  # openssl rand -base64 32
    volumes:
      - ./backups:/backups      # Local backup storage
      - ./db:/app/db            # SQLite database
      - ./storage:/app/storage  # Uploads & avatars

Then open http://localhost:3000 and create your first admin account.

🤖 AI Development Transparency & Security Notice ​

Architecture & Concept (Human-Led): ​

The system architecture, infrastructure design, strict technology stack selection, and feature specifications for DBackup were entirely conceptualized and directed by a human System Engineer to solve real-world infrastructure challenges.

Code Generation (AI-Driven): ​

100% of the underlying application code, including the backend logic and frontend components, was written by advanced AI coding agents based on strict architectural prompts. No manual software coding was performed.

Testing & Quality Assurance: ​

Manual Functional Testing: Every single feature has been extensively and manually tested by a human to ensure complete functional correctness, stability, and reliability in real-world scenarios.

Automated & Security Audits: Automated unit testing (Vitest) and initial static security audits were also conducted and implemented using AI agents.

Community Call for Code Review: ​

While DBackup is functionally robust, heavily tested for daily use, and built on modern architectural best practices, the codebase has not yet undergone a manual security review by a human software developer. Due to the nature of AI-generated code and AI-driven audits, hidden structural vulnerabilities might still exist.

If you are a software developer or cybersecurity professional, your expertise is highly welcome! We invite the open-source community to review the code, submit PRs, and help us elevate DBackup to a fully verified, enterprise-ready standard.

Security Disclosure: If you discover a security vulnerability, please do not open a public GitHub issue. Instead, report it responsibly via email to security@dbackup.app.
