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 6.8.1 fixes some minor bugs. See the CHANGELOG for full details on this release.
Getting started
To download and run a single rqlite node 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
Run a single node as follows:
docker pull rqlite/rqlite
docker run -p4001:4001 rqlite/rqlite
Check out the rqlite Docker page for more details on running nodes via Docker.

Homebrew
brew install rqlite
Windows
rqlite can be built for Windows, and Windows compatibility is ensured 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.
