Litestream is really cool! I'm planning to use it to backup and restore my SQLite in the container level, just like what that ex-google guy who started a startup of a small KVM and had a flood in his warehouse while on vacation did. If I'm not mistaken. I would link here the perfect guide he wrote but there's 0 chance I'll find it. If you understand the reference please post the link.

Haha, that sounds like me. Here's the writeup you're talking about:

And here's the flooding story:

Sidenote: I still use Litestream in every project where I use SQLite.
