V2 Cloud overview
Managed PocketBase backend for auth, database, storage, hooks, and AI — one instance per OpenV2 user.
V2 Cloud is OpenV2's managed backend for generated apps. It runs PocketBase — giving you authentication, a database, file storage, server hooks, and analytics without managing servers yourself.
When to use V2 Cloud
| Need | Solution |
|---|---|
| User accounts & login | V2 Cloud Authentication |
| Shared / synced data | V2 Cloud Database (collections) |
| Image & file uploads | V2 Cloud File Storage |
| Server-side logic | Server Functions (PocketBase hooks) |
| API keys in apps | Secrets (client vs server scope) |
| In-app AI | V2 Cloud AI |
For simple local-only apps, tell the AI to use React state and AsyncStorage — no backend required.
Architecture
- One PocketBase instance per OpenV2 user, provisioned on first use
- Apps access backend via OpenV2's proxy (
/api/pocketbase/proxy) — credentials stay server-side - Each project's collections are prefixed (
p_{projectId}_) so multiple apps share one backend safely
Opening V2 Cloud
- Open your project in the workbench
- Switch to the Backend view
- If not provisioned, OpenV2 provisions your instance automatically

AI-driven backend setup
Describe backend needs in chat — the AI emits PocketBase schema, hooks, and bucket definitions:
OpenV2 applies schema updates, access rules, and client code together.
