Overview
This product has charges associated with it for seller support. This is open source software, which is repackaged by ThinkCloud. The additional cost is applicable to the extended support of 24-hour response time. A repackaged rqlite v8.15.0 environment on CentOS Stream 9, including support. It offers a pre-configured, security-hardened environment designed for immediate deployment.
rqlite is a lightweight, distributed relational database built on SQLite and the Raft consensus algorithm. It provides a fault-tolerant, strongly consistent SQL database that is easy to deploy and operate. With a simple HTTP API and a built-in CLI client, rqlite is well-suited for use cases that require a reliable, replicated SQLite store without the complexity of traditional distributed databases.
Benefits:
- Lightweight & Embedded: Built on SQLite, rqlite has a minimal footprint and is easy to run on low-resource instances or edge devices.
- Distributed & Fault-Tolerant: Uses the Raft consensus protocol to ensure data consistency and high availability across a cluster.
- Simple HTTP API: All queries and management operations are accessible via a straightforward HTTP API, making integration easy.
- SQLite Compatible: Supports standard SQL syntax through SQLite, allowing you to use familiar tools and queries.
- Easy Operations: Single binary deployment with no external dependencies makes installation, upgrades, and maintenance simple.
- Secure by Default: Binds to localhost (127.0.0.1) out of the box, minimizing the attack surface until external access is explicitly configured.
This AMI is ideal for Developers, DevOps Engineers, and Edge Computing teams who need a lightweight, fault-tolerant distributed SQL database with minimal operational overhead.
Highlights
- CentOS Stream 9 Minimal installation with latest updates
- Professional technical support and fast response
- Optimized configuration for rqlite v8.15.0 on CentOS Stream 9

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for Rqlite running on CentOS Stream 9, with support from ThinkCloud. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, so your rate depends on the instance you pick. Options span general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and accelerated GPU families, in sizes from nano and micro up to metal and multi-xlarge configurations. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or storage carry higher hourly rates. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs, and you can switch instance types as your needs change.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to one running AWS EC2 instance of that type. You pay the listed rate for every hour that single instance runs, including partial hours. Running two instances of the same type bills two hourly rates. The hardware specs of the chosen instance set your rate.
The software rate meters running time only. A stopped or paused instance does not accrue the hourly software charge shown here. Underlying AWS storage or other resources tied to the stopped instance may still bill separately through AWS. Charges resume when you restart the instance.
Your rate changes to match the new instance type. Each type carries its own hourly rate, so moving to an instance with more CPU, memory, or storage raises the rate, and a smaller instance lowers it. You are billed for hours run under each type.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
-
Connection Method Connect via SSH as user 'ec2-user' to the running instance. Use sudo to run commands requiring root access, or switch to root using: sudo su - root
-
Application Details Check Version: /usr/local/bin/rqlited -version Server Binary: /usr/local/bin/rqlited Client CLI: /usr/local/bin/rqlite Data Directory: /var/lib/rqlite Configuration: /etc/systemd/system/rqlite.service (Note: Configuration is defined via command-line flags in the ExecStart line of the service file.)
-
Service Management Start: sudo systemctl start rqlite Stop: sudo systemctl stop rqlite Status: sudo systemctl status rqlite
-
Network Configuration rqlite Ports:
- Port 4001 (TCP): HTTP API for client queries and management.
- Port 4002 (TCP): Raft layer for internal cluster communication.
- Default Status: Both ports are bound to 127.0.0.1 (localhost only). Secure by default.
How to Allow External Access to Port 4001:
-
Edit service file: sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/rqlite.service
-
Modify flag: change -http-addr 127.0.0.1:4001 to -http-addr 0.0.0.0:4001
-
Reload and restart: sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart rqlite
-
AWS Security Group: Add inbound rule for TCP port 4001.
-
OS Firewall: sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=4001/tcp && sudo firewall-cmd --reload Please allow SSH port 22 to limited IPs for access.
-
Local CLI Connection Connect using the built-in CLI client (Note: use capital -H for host, -h is for help): rqlite -H 127.0.0.1 -p 4001 or simply: rqlite (defaults to localhost:4001)
Verify with SQL: CREATE TABLE test (id INTEGER, name TEXT); INSERT INTO test VALUES (1, 'rqlite is working'); SELECT * FROM test; .exit
