Data Storage and Backups

Data Storage and Backups

Section titled “Data Storage and Backups”

ThreadLens stores open-core application data in SQLite.

Docker storage

Section titled “Docker storage”

Docker profiles store SQLite data in the named volume scout_open_core_sqlite_data. The API container sees the database at /data/scout.db.

Local API storage

Section titled “Local API storage”

When running the Go API outside Docker, SCOUT_DB_PATH controls the SQLite path. If SCOUT_DB_PATH is empty, the API uses the default path from its configuration.

Backup notes

Section titled “Backup notes”
  • Stop write-heavy local activity before copying a SQLite database file.
  • Back up the Docker volume before deleting it.
  • Keep provider keys in .env; do not put secrets into database backups shared for bug reports.
