Litestream: Live Read Replication (via) The documentation for the read replication implemented in the latest Litestream beta (v0.4.0-beta.2). The design is really simple and clever: the primary runs a web server on a port, and replica instances can then be started with a configured URL pointing to the IP and port of the primary. That’s all it takes to have a SQLite database replicated to multiple hosts, each of which can then conduct read queries against their local copies.
