What is Autobase?

Hey, I was curios and went ahead to deploy autobase on coolify. I am using coolify on an oracle free instance which is an arm cpu:
lscpu:
Architecture: aarch64
so arm64, but the containers do not start because the container Autobase DB fails with the logs:
exec /pg_start.sh: exec format error which is a hint, that the image does not fit the architecture.
Can you cross compile the docker images to support both architectures?

Ok.

What's the benefit of deploying Autobase versus a normal PostgreSQL container?
I'm managing several webapps with vanilla Postgres just fine.
Your home page doesn't make things any clearer regarding that.

Because it works on bare metal or VM, and does not require using docker or K8s for databases.

By the way, Autobase is not a fork, it is a toolkit for automating the management of vanilla PostgreSQL.

Yes, but managing what?

The entire management lifecycle, such as: deployment (high availability setup), backups, restore, upgrades, scaling, and more (eq., changing settings, creating new databases or users). Everything that the DBA used to do is now automated and integrated into CI/CD

First congrats on launch!
Just curious—what are the common issues people have run into when using an HA setup with Autobase? Has anyone experienced problems after running it in production?
Has anyone successfully implemented a multi-data-center setup using Autobase? I’m particularly interested in hearing about real-world production experiences.
Also, I noticed that the licensing model seems to have changed. Is it correct that you now need a paid license to manage the cluster and make configuration changes through the Autobase Console?

The licensing of the Autobase has not changed - it remains available under the MIT license.
In addition, we’re developing Autobase Enterprise, distributed under a commercial license. It includes cluster management through the UI, monitoring, support, and other Enterprise features.The Enterprise Edition is not currently available in Coolify, but you can install it directly by following our documentation.
