Litestream Backup Skill

To automate SQLite backups to S3, this Skill configures a Litestream sidecar container in your Docker Compose environment, sharing the database volume to continuously replicate data to an S3-compatible bucket. You add the service, define your bucket configuration, and start the stack to begin replication.

Yes, you can replicate SQLite databases to Cloudflare R2, MinIO, and AWS S3. The Skill configures Litestream to target any S3-compatible storage provider, enabling continuous offsite backups and disaster recovery for your database across these platforms.

The best way to set up continuous disaster recovery for SQLite is using Litestream for WAL mode replication. This Skill automates configuring sync intervals, snapshot intervals, and retention policies, streaming database changes to S3-compatible storage to minimize data loss.

Yes, Litestream supports an optional auto-restore flag for SQLite disaster recovery. This Skill enables this feature to automatically recover your database from the S3-compatible replica when starting the Docker Compose stack after a failure.

Your SQLite database needs WAL mode for S3 replication because Litestream works by continuously streaming the Write-Ahead Log files. This Skill enables WAL mode to capture incremental database changes and asynchronously sync them to your S3-compatible bucket.
