GoBlog’s storage system

GoBlog stores all data that must be persistent in the subdirectory data of the current working directory. This directory contains the SQLite database file and the directory media that contains all uploaded files.

Database

GoBlog uses a SQLite database for storing most of the data (posts, comments, webmention, sessions, etc.). The database is accessed using the Go library mattn/go-sqlite3. With each startup it is checked if there are schema migrations to be performed on the database.

Currently there are the following database tables:

activitypub_followers
comments
deleted
indieauthauth
indieauthtoken
migrations
notifications
persistent_cache
post_parameters
posts
posts_fts
queue
reactions
sections
sessions
settings
shortpath
webmentions

Media files

To prevent data duplication, GoBlog stores files with the filename of the SHA-256 hash of the file.
