Quickstart

Get Borela running on one SQLite database.

1. Choose and pay for a plan

Choose Solo, Standard, Business, or Scale on the pricing page. Open the magic link Borela emails you, then complete checkout. The agent endpoints require an active subscription; there is no free or trial tier.

2. Install the agent

Run the setup command from your dashboard on the Linux host that can read the SQLite database file.

curl -fsSL https://borela.dev/install.sh | bash -s -- --api-key brl_xxx --db-path /home/deploy/app/data/app.db --name app

3. Watch the first backup

The dashboard should show the agent heartbeat, the latest backup time, and restore commands after the first ack arrives.

journalctl -u borela-agent -f
