Database

ricochet uses SQLite to store critical system data including deployed content, users, access controls, API keys, logs, and analytics. SQLite is bundled and statically linked within the ricochet binary. No external installation is required.

Note

Postgres support is planned in a future release.

The database file is located at RICOCHET_HOME/ricochet.sqlite3. If the file does not exist when ricochet starts, it will be created automatically.

ricochet automatically handles database schema migrations when upgrading to new versions. Under normal operation, the database should remain fairly small.
