Wow, super impressed. I have always wanted to build something like this where everything is embedded in 1 single file and I knew Go could be a great way to do it but always wondered how to handle the database part. Along comes SQLlite.

One feedback which will probably deviate from everything in 1 file concept but adding an option to upload files to an S3 URL will be awesome. Perhaps a pull request ? I am thinking of use cases like document management using this and if I can have the actual files in S3 (or S3 compatible), that would be a huge plus.

EDIT: I spoke too soon. You already have an option for S3 as I tested the demo. Very cool.

How much work went into this btw ? The github, documentation everything is well done. I envy work like this :)

By default PocketBase uses the local filesystem, but you could also configure a S3 compatible storage (AWS, DigitalOcean, Vultr, etc.) from "Settings > Files Storage > Use S3 storage".

I've started working on the project ~ 3-4 months ago. The last 4 weeks I've taken a longer break from my day-to-day job so that I could finalize the first release.

Uploaded files must deviate from „everything in one file“ regardless of using S3, right? How (and why) would you store user uploads within the binary?

[randomwebdev]

Uploaded files and your database are stored outside of the binary.

yea it was a silly question. It does allow S3 anyway so we are good.

My intent was not to point out a „silly question“. I was legitimately interested if there is a reasoning and what a use case for that would be. Thank you for responding nicely!
