Easily backup your SQLite database right from Elixir using Litestream
Available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding litestream
to your list of
dependencies in mix.exs
:
def deps do
[
{:litestream, "~> 0.4.0"}
]
end
Documentation can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/litestream.
If you rely on this library to backup your SQLite databases, it would much appreciated if you can give back to the project in order to help ensure its continued development.

After adding {:litestream, "~> 0.2.0"}
in your mix.exs
file and running mix deps.get
, open your application.ex
file and add the following to your supervision tree:
@impl true
def start(_type, _args) do
children = [
# Start the Ecto repository
LitescaleTest.Repo,
{Litestream, litestream_config()},
...
]
opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: MyApp.Supervisor]
Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
end
defp litestream_config do
Application.get_env(:my_app, Litestream)
end
In your runtime.exs
(or dev.exs
if you are just developing locally):
config :my_app, Litestream,
repo: MyApp.Repo,
replica_url: System.fetch_env!("REPLICA_URL"),
access_key_id: System.fetch_env!("ACCESS_KEY_ID"),
secret_access_key: System.fetch_env!("SECRET_ACCESS_KEY")
With those in place, you should be all set to go! As soon as your application starts, your database will be automatically synced with your remote destination.
