rqlite, SQLite With A Raft Log And A Row That Came Back

rqlite (SHA-256 pinned) on EL 10 from the upstream release, as a hardened systemd service on loopback; the live test sees an anonymous caller and a wrong password refused, writes a row through the HTTP API and reads it back, and finds the node leading its own raft; the users file is always written, because rqlite answers everyone without one. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

Documentation

rqlite

rqlite, SQLite with a raft log in front of it, from the upstream release (SHA-256 pinned per architecture), as a hardened system service on loopback with a users file, its data under /var/lib/rqlite. Original role for EL 10, live-tested with podman on Rocky Linux 10.

No package, and no checksum file to speak of. EL 10 carries no rqlite, and rqlite publishes the release with nothing beside it. This role pins the SHA-256 per architecture beside the version, has Ansible's get_url refuse the asset unless it matches, and installs the binaries as root's in /usr/local/bin. A new release is a new pair, on purpose.

A service account, a hardened unit, a loopback listener. rqlite is a system user with no shell that owns the data directory and nothing else; the unit runs with NoNewPrivileges, PrivateTmp, ProtectHome and ProtectSystem=strict. The listener is 127.0.0.1:4001 by default, for a proxy that authenticates or a client on the same host; the live test reads the listening sockets and expects loopback only.

Proven by a row that went in and came back. The live test sees /readyz, /status and /nodes answer 401 to an anonymous caller and a wrong password refused, creates a table and inserts a row through /db/execute, reads it back through /db/query, and reads /status for store.raft.state: Leader and the data directory it was given.

The users file is not optional here. rqlite answers every caller when it is started without -auth, so the role always writes one and the unit always passes it; rqlite_users is a list, so a reader and a writer are two entries rather than one shared password. A single node still binds the raft address, which is why the live test expects 4001 and 4002 on loopback and nothing on a public address.
