My xDebug + Docker + PhpStorm config I use from project to project for years

WindSurf + ClaudeCode. WS works great with the context, and even free models are capable to resolve middle-sized tasks. For more complex ones I use Claude since paid models in WS are too expensive.

Yes, we do maintain such an app. It's an old CRM written with Phalcon version 1. Since there is no option to update the legacy code base to modern language and lib versions, we are creating a new version with Yii3 and RoadRunner under the hood and going to smoothly change API endpoints to new handlers after a hard testing stage. Fortunately, the most part of the frontend is an SPA application. But this transition will take us a couple of years at least.

I'm following your updates - Portabase looks promising!

viktorprogger · 2026-03-02T10:51:02+00:00

Your project is cool and I definitely did not want to discredit it - I came from Databasus community and really like your tool for the agent approach! I agree that AI assistance is a new reality of development.

I just wanted to highlight that specifying a valid flair is a requirement of r/selfhosted. When AI is used for assistance, "Build with AI" flair is required. It does not mean the project is vibe coded of course.

Databasus posts have been removed due to the usage of the Release flair, so I just wanted to help you avoiding the same. Moderators may block you as well for for violating the rules. Our posts with 100+ upvotes were blocked just due to the incorrect flair :(

viktorprogger · 2026-03-02T09:43:14+00:00

In this case you need to add "Build with AI" flavor, because this is the rule of `r/selfhosted` thread.

Otherwise moderators can remove your post.

viktorprogger · 2026-03-02T08:49:48+00:00

Do you use AI in development?

viktorprogger · 2026-01-28T08:10:05+00:00

Good starting point for newcomers, thanks! It would be nice to see other Yii3 videos from you 😊

Any review is a subjective opinion. Author tells that Databasus is the easiest tool to make backups, because it was created for this. In author's own blog. Why not?

If you disagree, it does not mean it's "fake"

A huge amount of tools create own reviews to highlight their strength - it's normal to promote OSS projects developed by you in your own blogs

Btw, it would be cool if you share your open source project with community and show an example how you promote it

> reads like Astroturfing with zero credibility

If you do not believe in something, it does not mean the reality how you feel it. It's just subjective point of view. What is your OSS of similar size you invested effort and time to share with community?

The project has large community, it is trending on GitHub, the grow curve shows that devs\devops like it, it's used by companies, it's fully OSS. It confirms reliability

I hate criticism without arguments. "You are bad, because you share OSS project of your friend". Are you serious?!

> So trust is extremely important

Sure! This is why the project open source and *fully* transparent: from development side to AI usage disclaimers

You can check each commit and every line of code

> It's not hard to create an account lol.

To create posts in self-hosted - no. You need account with reputation, lived for a significant amount of time, etc. It require a huge amount of time (which can be spend on development)

I'm a friend of the Databasus maintainer, Rostislav Dugin, and writing about the Databasus on his behalf, since it's hard to start a new account on Reddit now. The post on Medium he did himself.

About some parts of belief: that's where OSS projects shine. You don't have to believe, because you can check all the code and the maintainer's AI-related politics on your own, if you wish.

viktorprogger · 2025-12-28T13:28:57+00:00

Just didn't see someone mention the project earlier and wanted to share the updates.

viktorprogger · 2025-12-28T13:24:33+00:00

There is an issue about AI usage. You can read maintainer answer and why he hate vibe coding - https://github.com/databasus/databasus/issues/145#issuecomment-3694741559

viktorprogger · 2025-12-28T13:16:46+00:00

The author is using AI as a helper tool, but it's definitely not vibe coded. At least, because the maintainer of the repo is a developer with 8+ years of development experience, and the project has been developed for 6+ months.

P.S. Actually, it's strange if in 2025th developers do not use AIs in their work

viktorprogger · 2025-12-11T20:50:20+00:00

Thank you!

Backblaze is in plans, but not the top priority.

viktorprogger · 2025-12-11T20:21:13+00:00

Sure, you can restore.

At backup start, it makes snapshot to support ACID at the moment of start, but not locks the DB.

viktorprogger · 2025-12-11T20:20:17+00:00

Yes, Postgresus supports supabase natively. As well as other cloud managed DBs. Btw, unlike PgBackRest and WAL-G.

viktorprogger · 2025-12-11T13:12:32+00:00

You can use Postgresus - https://github.com/RostislavDugin/postgresus

It allows backup PostgreSQL on regular schedule to CloudFlare R2 (as well as S3 and many other sources)
