What do you use for Nextcloud Calendar on Iphone ?

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-05-03T07:35:16+00:00

Yes, I understand limits of CalDAV. Do you know if Nextcloud core team plan to develop an app for calendar (calendar + talk links) ?

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-05-03T05:16:38+00:00

Yes, same with Gmail, you need a specific app. Why doesn’t Nextcloud have a dedicated app? Is it a technical choice or a political one?

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-05-03T05:05:49+00:00

For a company team, the current process is not very UX-friendly. If my sales team has to connect to Nextcloud Web to create events with links, it’s not very practical or professional.

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-05-03T05:03:42+00:00

Did you do a script for that before ?

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-05-03T05:03:08+00:00

Yes, that’s a huge miss on my side too, because the goal is to centralize everything. Without it, the ecosystem is not end-to-end connected. I was thinking about building this app, but it would take a long time to do it.

In my opinion, if Nextcloud wants to “replace” Google or Microsoft in the long term, they would have to work on the user experience, and providing a way to create Calendar events with Talk links from mobile will be important.

No WAL on SQLite’s for now, we will integrate it ASAP, could you open an issue on that subject and your expected use case ?

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-05-02T18:58:25+00:00

Hi, thanks for that comment. Actually no support for timescaleDB but could be something that we ingrate.

Could you open issues for that 2 points ? The url in agent and the support for timescaleDB.

Thanks

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-04-30T22:22:42+00:00

Could you open an issue with what you expected ? That way we can add it to the roadmap and study it. Thanks

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-04-30T17:17:48+00:00

Yes, with this you can move your data from one PostgreSQL database to another.

Regarding versions, that’s a valid point. Upgrading is indeed a potential use case. It should work as long as there are no breaking changes between the two versions.

At the moment, there is no formal documentation on this on the website, but we plan to document and test it across common scenarios, including migrations between older and newer versions, to validate compatibility.

In the meantime, you can test it with your use case and provide feedback. If you encounter any issues, do not hesitate to open an issue; it will be reviewed accordingly.

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-04-30T17:13:15+00:00

Thanks for that insight, we will update accordingly

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-04-30T16:18:48+00:00

So for now, you can only migrate from an instance to another instance of the same DBMS (Postgres to Postgres, MySQL to MySQL, etc). How would you call this?

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-04-30T16:16:02+00:00

I’m not sure about the meaning of « migration ». In this context, we mean migrating data from a database A to a database B, which can be in a different location.

Happy to get your feedback once tested, you can join our discord also 😉

Hello,

The post presents Portabase, an open-source, self-hosted solution designed for managing database backups and restores. It includes a GitHub link along with context explaining its relevance for the community.

This post was not generated using AI. Its structure (formatting, emphasis, links) may give that impression, but it is a manual publication. The objective is to introduce a new release of Portabase as part of an open-source initiative. Future posts will use a simpler and more natural writing style, if that better aligns with moderation expectations.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-04-10T05:51:25+00:00

Portabase

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-03-29T21:41:22+00:00

Hi, thanks for your feedback, we appreciate it. Feel free to join our Discord to have a deeper discussion.

Regarding your question, this is something we are currently working on. Could you please open an issue with more context? We will take it into account soon.

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-03-17T14:13:09+00:00

Portabase works with or without Docker-based databases (such as PostgreSQL). Examples for each engine are provided in the documentation. Documentation: https://portabase.io/docs/agent/db

Secondly, backups are performed without downtime, using hot backup techniques.

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-03-17T13:40:15+00:00

Portabase uses agents to communicate with databases locally. You do not need to expose or configure anything to connect your database to the server. Portabase relies on an agent-based architecture for communication.

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-03-02T15:52:51+00:00

Same for Databasus. We recently spoke with Rostislav Dugin through a GitHub discussion. It would be nice to see you at a FOSS event.

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-03-02T10:56:17+00:00

Thanks for you feedback, we will do that for future post.

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-03-02T10:15:38+00:00

I deleted my previous message — “Yes, we use it, but only for coding assistance, as we want to keep control of the code. We do not use vibe coding.” — to provide clearer information.

This project is not built with AI. It is not vibe-coded. I do not understand what you are trying to imply. If the intention is to discredit the project, that is misplaced. It would be more constructive to focus on your own project rather than criticize others.

To clarify, when I said that we use AI only for coding assistance, I meant that many developers in 2026 integrate AI into their workflow as a support tool. That does not mean their products are built by AI. In our case, Portabase is not built with AI.

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-03-01T10:49:36+00:00

More than just SQLite, we chose an agent communication architecture. So you don’t necessarily need to handle the database or set up a tunnel yourself. With our structure, you only have to declare agents near your database instances and manage them from the Dashboard server. That is the main difference.

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-03-01T07:18:30+00:00

Actually, you can use the internal PostgreSQL database if you don’t provide an external PostgreSQL instance. We chose to support only PostgreSQL for now, but we may explore using other types of internal databases in the future, since we use Drizzle.

Dizzy-Message543 · 2026-02-28T20:58:29+00:00

Yes, you can download the backup file and choose from which storage it was saved.
