Summary
wp-sqlite-db does not work with bedrock
Motivation
wp-sqlite-db is not a theme or a plugin, it's a drop-in that allows wp to work with sqlite database making the whole installation portable. Wp-sqlite-db commes into scene before the database is created, and works in a manner that WP doesn't even know that the database is not mysql. I didn't study why it doesn't work, but it looks like some steps are missing in the installation process. Installation fails with error: Warning: mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. ... of course, there is no mysql database installed on the system.
It would be disappointing to rule out the possibility to use sqlite as database....
Additional context
bedrock version: 1.15.3
php version: 7.3.8
I thought we had something in our docs about this... but doesn't look like it 😔
You're correct that Bedrock (due to Composer's feature set) doesn't support drop-ins automatically. https://github.com/Koodimonni/Composer-Dropin-Installer is a composer package which enables this though.
I actually just used it myself for wp-sqlite-db the other week and it worked fine.

Thank you, I will try.

I can't get it working! And I tried every possible combination, then I installed wp + wp-sqlite-db according their documentation in both provided ways, that installation works fine (without bedrock), and then... I also tried to manually copy the database folder plus db.php file in wp-content folder and tried to start bedrock in that way... also didn't work!
I tested both paths, as described in their docs, and as bedrock needs:
"dropin-paths": {
"wp-content/": ["package:aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db:src/db.php"]
}, "dropin-paths": {
"web/wp/wp-content/": ["package:aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db:src/db.php"]
},Are you sure that your install was able to access dashboard or you just tested in console?
Did you try app/ or web/app? 🤔
"dropin-paths": {
"web/app": ["package:aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db:src/db.php"]
},This is what you want ^

Thank you both!
