@masump thanks and good question. It's something that's not supported yet right now, but I definitely have it on the list of future improvements. Do note however, the app already provides you with full access to the DB's installation/data directory, so creating a quick back up should only take a minute or so 😉

sounds like an interesting app! Do you have plans to support additional database services in the future?

@stb__ yes absolutely. Elasticsearch support is dropping (very) soon, and more services are planned for the future. https://x.com/SnapDBApp/status/1...

Really cool idea! Setting up Postgres locally is always a time-suck. Does it include UI apps like pgAdmin, or at least make it easy to connect?

@tleyden Thanks for the compliment! Out of the box, no DB interfacing tool is included. For now, SnapDB just helps you with starting/managing the database servers themselves. In order to view, query, chart your data, you'll still need a tool like pgAdmin, TablePlus, MySQL Workbench etc. In terms of connecting to the database; that's easy. The same default credentials can be used as you would normally do. E.g. 127.0.0.1:5432, username postgres, no password. Feel free to try the app out and let me know if this can be cleared up! ⭐️

Congrats on the launch! Looks pretty sleek 🔥 Quick question - What are the over & above features from DBngin(https://dbngin.com/) considering that DBngin's free?

@shivamdhawan Hi, thanks for the compliments! I'm definitely aware of DBngin and think it's a great product. It's also something I was considering during the development. SnapDB distinguishes itself on a couple of points: - Wider DB Support DBngin only supports 3 database types (Postgres, MySQL and Redis) with limited version availability. SnapDB supports 5 database types (Postgres, MariaDB, MySQL, Redis and Mongo) with over 50+ different versions. (more DBs already planned and releasing soon) - Active Monitoring SnapDB actively monitors your services in the background. If any issues arise with your database services, SnapDB detects it within seconds and lets you know. - Active Development Perhaps the most important, SnapDB is fresh off the shelves and will be actively maintained. New features are already planned and support for new database types/versions will be continuously added. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for DBngin - due to it being a free initiative from the TablePlus team, it (understandably) seems that they are unable to dedicate sufficient time to its development. --- If the above points are valuable to you, then SnapDB could be interesting. And if not, then by all means stick with DBngin! 😄

@musa11971 Makes sense. Will definitely keep an eye on upcoming features. Some of them will eventually tilt the balance to SnapDB for me. All the best!! ⭐️

I've been looking for something like this. Awesome that you have a lot of MariaDB versions included. I used a brew installation that kept breaking my databases everytime I updated it. Looking forward to your future updates 👍

Sounds like a very cool idea, was recently talking with a friend and he was wondering how he could do a step back from all those brew dependencies. Really cool how you’ve basically solved his problem hahah! I’m looking forward to your updates!

Why pay for it when you have DBngin ? How it is different from DBngin ?
