opengist/docs/configuration/databases/sqlite.md

Using SQLite

By default, Opengist uses SQLite as the database backend.

Because SQLite is a file-based database, there is not much configuration to tweak.

The configuration db-uri/OG_DB_URI refers to the path of the SQLite database file relative in the $opengist-home/ directory (default opengist.db), although it can be left untouched.

The SQLite journal mode is set to WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) by default and can be changed.

YAML

# default
db-uri: opengist.db
sqlite.journal-mode: WAL

OG_DB_URI=opengist.db
