🚀 Autobase 2.3.0 — Our new Powerful release here!
We’re thrilled to announce Autobase 2.3.0 — a new major release that brings new features, essential improvements, and deeper integration capabilities. This release takes Autobase to the next level as a truly enterprise-ready, self-hosted DBaaS for PostgreSQL.
This has been a big effort — and we want to express our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed ideas, code, testing, and feedback. Your support and collaboration are what make Autobase such a strong project. We’re proud of the progress and the growing community behind it.
✨ Highlights
Dark Theme in the Console UI
One of the most requested features is here — a beautiful dark mode for the Autobase Console. A more comfortable and modern experience, especially for those late-night sessions!
Import Existing Clusters
You can now import existing clusters into the Autobase UI — for example, those previously deployed via CLI — and instantly gain a visual overview and monitoring of the cluster’s state.
Export Clusters to Ansible Inventory
Autobase now supports exporting clusters to an Ansible inventory file directly from the UI. This is perfect for switching to a CI/CD-driven workflow after visual deployment.
AWS Network Load Balancer (NLB)
We’ve added support for AWS Network Load Balancer — a high-performance, low-latency option for handling large volumes of traffic efficiently in production environments.
Ansible Collection
We’ve refactored the automation system into a modern Ansible Collection. This makes it easier than ever to integrate Autobase into your own infrastructure projects.
Simply declare the collection:
collections:
- name: vitabaks.autobase
version: 2.3.0And invoke the playbook in just one line:
- name: Run Autobase playbook
ansible.builtin.import_playbook: vitabaks.autobase.deploy_pgclusterMore information about the autobase ansible collection is available here.
And That’s Not All…
This release includes many additional fixes, performance improvements, and quality-of-life updates, all aimed at making Autobase even more stable, efficient, and user-friendly.
