Documented backups
A clear backup and restore procedure for your database and files.
Operations & safety
Back up, upgrade and roll back with confidence
Self-hosting shouldn't mean flying blind. Kanakku ships documented backup, restore, upgrade and rollback procedures so every change to your books is reversible.
Your data, backed up on your terms
Because you self-host on your own PostgreSQL and Docker, backups are yours to schedule and store wherever you trust. The documented flow makes restore a known, rehearsed step — not a panic.
