I've been using LiteDB and a C# backend to serve a local web page, where I've been keeping track of the weight of our three cats and two dogs. After migrating the backend to docker, I've been having issues that the database in not being updated correctly. The file is saved on the pi and volume shared to the container, but the changes are not being propagated to the actual file on the pi. Instead of finding out what is wrong and wasting time on that, I'd like to skip a few steps and move on from C#. It is not the best for the pi and was mostly an interesting exercise at the time.

Setting up LiteDB on a Raspberry Pi

What's the point?

I finally got myself a model 3 b+ Raspberry Pi and as I've never worked with a NoSQL database before, I decided to try one out with it. My initial choice was running a MongoDB database inside a docker container.
