What is Litestream?
Litestream is a replication tool for SQLite databases on Mac OS X and Linux Debian operating systems. Litestream runs separate background processes for creating continuous replicas of SQLite databases that are copied to external disks or cloud locations such as Filebase.
Read below to learn how to use Litestream with Filebase.
Prerequisites:
1. Create a sample database called test.db with the following command:
test.db with the following command:sqlite3 test.db2. Next, locate the litestream.yml file.
