libsql v0.1.0

Databases

libSQL server (sqld) — a self-hosted server for libSQL, the open-source fork of SQLite by Turso. Get SQLite's simplicity with a network HTTP/gRPC API, so multiple apps and edge clients can share one database. Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service with a persistent data volume.

nomad-pack run libsql --registry nomploy

…or one line (add registry + run)

curl -fsSL https://packs.nomploy.com/install.sh | sh -s -- libsql

Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

Back up this pack

This pack stores data in one Docker named volume: libsql_data

restic

# Run on the node hosting this pack. Point restic at your repo first:
#   export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/<bucket>"
#   export RESTIC_PASSWORD="<repo-password>"
#   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key>  AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret>
restic backup \
  /var/lib/docker/volumes/libsql_data/_data

rclone (sync to S3/R2)

rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/libsql_data/_data backup:<bucket>/libsql_data

Paths assume the default Docker volume location (/var/lib/docker/volumes). Restore by stopping the job, restoring files into the same volume, and re-running the pack.

Readme

libsql

libSQL server (sqld) — a self-hosted server for libSQL, the open-source fork of SQLite maintained by Turso. You keep SQLite's simplicity and single-file storage but add a network HTTP/gRPC API, so multiple applications (and edge/embedded replicas) can share one database.

Single host-networked Nomad service running a primary node, with a persistent data volume.

Deploy

nomad-pack registry add nomploy https://github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs
nomad-pack run libsql --registry=nomploy

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`port`	`8121`	HTTP API port (`SQLD_HTTP_LISTEN_ADDR`).
`auth_jwt_key`	`""`	JWT public key (`SQLD_AUTH_JWT_KEY`) to require auth. Empty = no auth.
`data_volume`	`libsql_data`	`/var/lib/sqld` — the database files.
`image`	`ghcr.io/tursodatabase/libsql-server:latest`	Container image. Pin a tag in production.
`resources`	`{ cpu = 500, memory = 256 }`	Task resources.

Connect with a libSQL/Turso client (http://<node-ip>:8121) or any libSQL driver; health check at /health. By default there is no authentication — set auth_jwt_key and keep the port on an internal network. This runs a single primary node; embedded replicas can sync from it. Pin the job to the node holding the volume with constraints.
