>The DX for deploying SQLite apps to Fly.io is rough. I'm a few hours into trying to get a production Rails app booting, but running into issues getting the database to initialize, migrate, and become writable. The root of my problem was the eager loading of a gem I wrote, but there were several layers of runners above it that made it hard to diagnose. What's the Fly.io issue here? Aren't the issues you're describing in Rails not Fly.io? I run several Go apps in production on Fly.io[0, 1, 2] and I've never had an issue with the Fly.io + SQLite part of it. SQLite + Litestream makes things slightly more complicated, but again, I've never had issues with Fly.io specifically making that harder. I use a custom launch script in my Dockerfile that starts litestream with the -exec flag to start my app as a child process.[3] [0] https://github.com

A few things that are well-covered in this thread, but my personal favorite is PicoShare. It is a nice, simple self-hosted file sharing app that fixes a lot of issues with other solutions. Email has size limitations. Many services don't like to share .exe files. Some will apply compression (unlisted youtube videos). I like this because it's a simple app that allows you to share files with others, and give them a link to share files to you. https://github.com/mtlynch/picoshare http://pico.rocks/
