rqlite is a lightweight, user-friendly, distributed relational database, which uses SQLite as its storage engine. rqlite provides an easy-to-use, fault-tolerant and highly-available store for your most important relational data. You can learn a lot more about rqlite at rqlite.io.
See the CHANGELOG for full details on v8.28.4, and check out the Assets section below for prebuilt binaries.
Getting started
Check out the Quick Start guide.
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.
Linux
Builds for a variety of CPU architectures are available. See the Assets section below.
You need to choose the correct build for your CPU and Linux distribution. For most systems the amd64 build is the one to use, but distributions such as Alpine may need to run the musl release.
To download and start rqlite for amd64, execute the following in a shell.
curl -L https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/releases/download/v8.26.6/rqlite-v8.26.6-linux-amd64.tar.gz -o rqlite-v8.26.6-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar xvfz rqlite-v8.26.6-linux-amd64.tar.gz
cd rqlite-v8.26.6-linux-amd64
./rqlited ~/node.1
macOS
Install via Homebrew.
brew install rqlite
Windows
rqlite can be built for Windows, and Windows compatibility is ensured via AppVeyor. You can download a pre-built release for Windows in one of two ways:
- The top-of-tree build is available for download from AppVeyor. Check out the CI build for Windows for more details.
- Download the Win64 build artifact attached to this release. This build is currently considered experimental.
