- I use the same stack to run my apps! sqlite as Database backen on ephemeral pods. On initialisation, the pod restores the current litestream backup from object storage. No persistent volumes needed. No issues so far.by sighansen
- Without persistent volumes, every deployment of the app may require the SQLite data to be restored from S3, which can take time if database size is large. With PVC, regular app deployments use existing database, only a disaster recovery scenario restores from S3.
Yes, it feels magical to just recreate your namespace or even create a new K8s cluster and see all your apps (from OpenRun metadata) and app data restored automatically.
by ajayvk - Built-in Litestream replication and automatic restore is a new feature I added in OpenRun (a self-hosted deployment platform for web apps). Apps can use SQLite with zero code changes while OpenRun handles backup/recovery. This works on a single node with Docker/Podman and also on Kubernetes.by ajayvk
- Do you have any mechanisms in place to prevent two separate instances of OpenRun that share the same configuration from corrupting their shared S3 Litestream store?
