Database

Both the proxy and the storage servers require a database to manage files, users, and shares. Two backends are supported for the database. No additional configuration is required; simply set the environment variable DATABASE_URL as follows:

SQLite

• Supported formats for DATABASE_URL are:

  • File paths (e.g., test.db)
  • URIs (e.g., file://test.db)
  • Special identifiers (e.g., :memory:)

  Example: DATABASE_URL=mydatabase.db

PostgreSQL

• DATABASE_URL must be a PostgreSQL connection string.

  Example: DATABASE_URL="postgresql://<user>:<password>@localhost:5432/<database name>"

• The user in the URL must be the owner of the database and have all privileges on it.
