Storage Backend

router-hosts uses SQLite as its storage backend. SQLite provides an embedded, zero-configuration database that stores all data in a single file.

Configuration

[database]
path = "/var/lib/router-hosts/hosts.db"

Default location (if no path specified): ~/.local/share/router-hosts/hosts.db

Implementation

The Go implementation uses modernc.org/sqlite, a pure-Go SQLite driver that requires no CGo or system libraries. This ensures maximum portability across platforms.

Event Store

All changes are stored as immutable events. The current state is reconstructed from the event log, providing a complete audit trail.

In-Memory Mode

For testing, use in-memory SQLite: ":memory:" as the database path.
