Set up a dashboard

Create, start and open a Portabase dashboard with the CLI.

At the end of this guide, a Portabase dashboard runs on your server and you can log in.

Prerequisites: the CLI installed, Docker running.

Create the dashboard

portabase dashboard create my-dashboard

The wizard asks for the web port (8887 by default), the database (a dedicated PostgreSQL container is recommended) and the timezone. A my-dashboard/ folder is created.

Start it

portabase start my-dashboard

Skip this step if you passed --start at creation.

Open the interface

Go to http://localhost:8887 (or your server's IP) and create the first account.

Use your domain (optional)

portabase dashboard set my-dashboard url https://backup.example.com behind_proxy true
portabase restart my-dashboard

Put a reverse proxy in front of it.
