rqlite is a lightweight, distributed relational database, which uses SQLite as its storage engine. rqlite provides an easy-to-use, fault-tolerant store for critical relational data.
Release 5.11.0 adds more control over networking during cluster-join operations. Some internal error messages have also been improved.
Getting started
To download and run a single rqlite node, which automatically becomes leader, follow the directions below. It's also very easy to run a rqlite cluster -- you can learn more by checking out the documentation.
If you wish to build rqlite from source, check out this documentation.
Docker
docker pull rqlite/rqlite

Windows
rqlite can be built for Windows, and compatibility is ensured at all times via AppVeyor. However you may need to build a specific release yourself, though the top-of-tree build is available for download from AppVeyor. Check out the CI build for Windows for more details. Please note that I do not control the build process in AppVeyor and you download and use those binaries at your own risk.
