Litestream environment variables

[danielmichaels]

Thanks for creating snips - it's awesome.

Is there a way to run Litestream without the docker-compose file but instead just use some environment variables?

Background:

I'm running my own snips.sh on a CapRover instance. CapRover doesn't really support docker-compose without an (IMO) janky workaround.

It does have great support for populating environment variables.

I do this in one of my own projects, where I have a litestream.yml included and environment variables entirely populate it; example.

What do you think? Something worth exploring?

👋 Thanks for using it!

You can totally use litestream without docker-compose, they have great documentation on how to do so.

I'm not familiar with CapRover, but if you need everything to be within a single dockerfile/container, you can use setup a process manager like supervisord to run snips and litestream in a single container. e.g. start the Dockerfile with FROM ghcr.io/robherley/snips.sh... install litestream in the dockerfile and make supervisord point to both /usr/bin/snips.sh and the litestream binary.

Otherwise, you can use litestream outside of that container and point it to the sqlite database file 👍
