Install with Rails SQLite

Back up production.sqlite3 without changing Rails.

Typical path

Rails SQLite deployments commonly keep the production database under storage. Point Borela at the actual production file on the server.

curl -fsSL https://borela.dev/install.sh | bash -s -- --api-key brl_xxx --db-path /home/deploy/app/storage/production.sqlite3 --name rails-prod

WAL files

Borela uses Litestream under the hood, so it handles SQLite WAL replication rather than copying only the main .sqlite3 file.
