Quickstart

Get Borela running on one SQLite database.

1. Create an account

Choose Backup or Verified recovery, then open the magic link Borela emails you.

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
