How do I use volumes to make a sqlite database in a python application always persistent?

I would like to know how to store a sqlite database and ensure that it is not deleted with each deployment of the application.

Simply mount a volume to a given location and then have your code store your database in that location.

So it's that simple lmao

And is it possible for me to upload something into this volume without having to run a service first to move a file there?

You can only access the volume by the service that it's attached to, so yes you would need to first deploy something that can upload a file, like the filebrowser template.

Got it, thank you very much for your help!
