Is PocketBase still maintained?
Active (moved off GitHub) Yes. PocketBase's GitHub repository is archived, but only because development moved to ganigeorgiev.com/pocketbase/pocketbase. The latest release there is v0.41.1 (Oct 28, 2026).
Why is PocketBase's GitHub repo archived?
PocketBase is not abandoned. Its GitHub repository was archived in late October 2026 because the maintainer, Gani Georgiev, moved development and new releases to his own self-hosted Git platform at ganigeorgiev.com. He announced the move in September 2026 and said no GitHub mirror will be maintained. Older releases stay on GitHub; new ones (v0.41.0 and later) are only on the new host. If you use PocketBase as a Go library, newer versions are imported from ganigeorgiev.com/pocketbase instead of github.com/pocketbase.
Latest release: v0.41.1 on Oct 28, 2026, published on the new host. Sources: Maintainer's announcement: "Preparations to migrate from GitHub" (Sep 12, 2026) · Archived GitHub README: "The repo has moved" · v0.40.6 changelog: last release on GitHub · New home of the code and releases
Status is re-checked weekly from GitHub and the project's new host. Compare every project in the maintenance tracker →
