[VicPiMakers Projects] LibreDB Studio

A few meetings back I mentioned that the DBeaver (https://dbeaver.io/) 
database client can connect to SQLite databases.  Well, I recently 
stumbled upon LibreDB (https://libredb.org/), an open-source, 
self-hosted client, that appeals to me more for home use.  (You can also 
run it locally with Node.)

They feature deploying it in a Docker container but I installed it into 
an Incus container instead.  I was then able to use the GUI to create 
and connect to an SQLite database file, which is saved to a mounted 
storage volume.  (Think of the storage volume as a second hard drive or 
partition that doesn't get wiped when you reinstall.)

The installation and configuration were quite straight forward, except 
for the storage volume.  That required stopping the service; creating 
and mounting the storage volume; changing the systemd unit file; copying 
any existing files over; and, restarting the service.

I'm still test driving it and haven't yet connected it to a MariaDB or 
PostgreSQL database.
