Storing the state in s3

You'll an s3 compatible bucket, like backblaze, aws, cloudflare or any compatible provider. Litestream will restore the bucket in an emptyDir. Then during operation a litestream sidecar will live replicate the changes to s3.

Contents of manifest.yaml

• a Namespace for the project
• a ConfigMap containing litestream.yml config
  • replace $S3_ENDPOINT with your bucket config
• a StatefulSet containing
  • an initContainer to restore the sqlite db
  • a Pod with linkding + litestream official images
• a Service to expose the pods
  • I'm using tailscale annotations, replace these with traefik or your favorite ingress controller stuff.
