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 5.4.0 allows configuration, at startup, of the number of cluster-join attempts, and the interval between each attempt.
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.
