Data folder

Everything delune keeps is in its data folder (DELUNE_DATA_DIR).

delune.db (+ -wal, -shm)SQLite: accounts and sessions, downloads, reviews, wishlist, follows, requests, notifications, settings, chat, favourites and their saved share lists, Bandcamp links, peer history. Readable only by delune.
config.tomlConnections from delune setup or the web app. Readable only by delune.
staging/<job>/Downloads waiting for review. Removed after import or discard; finished jobs are forgotten after 60 days and leftover folders are cleared at startup.
avatars/Profile pictures
share-cache.jsonThe index of what you share, so a restart doesn’t rescan the library

Older versions kept *.json files instead of delune.db. They’re imported the first time the database opens and renamed to *.json.imported.

Backing up

Back up the whole folder. For a consistent copy of the database while delune runs:

sqlite3 /var/lib/delune/delune.db ".backup '/backups/delune.db'"

staging/ can be left out: it only holds downloads nobody has reviewed yet.
