This is cool. I think it would also be neat to have option to have Litestream [1] integration so that users can use this without any persistent volume or worry about back ups [1] https://litestream.io/

PocketBase uses embedded SQLite in WAL mode, so it's already compatible with Litestream if you want to integrate it.

Or do you want Litestream somehow embedded in the Pocketbase binary so it's part of the "one file" artefact? They're both written in Go, so I guess that could theoretically be possible.

Congrats! What a lovely project. What a fantastic job!

Question: I am currently evaluating Ory/Kratos as authentication backend for a side project. Ory Kratos is a mature and excellent project. However, it has very little documentation when it comes to self-hosting. Further, I also feel like maintaining code that uses it down the line could is going to be problematic given its shear size and complexity.

How do you think Pocketbase compares with Ory Kratos?
