+# Removing SQLite from PostgreSQL-Only Deployment
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-26
+**Status:** ๐ Plan Ready
+**Goal:** Remove SQLite dependencies from PostgreSQL-focused deployment
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Since this fork is **PostgreSQL-focused**, we can remove SQLite components to:
+- โ
Reduce deployment size
+- โ
Clarify PostgreSQL-only focus
+- โ
Remove unnecessary dependencies
+- โ
Simplify build and maintenance
+
+---
+
+## What Can Be Removed
+
+### 1. SQLite Provider Project โ
+```
+src/Jellyfin.Database/Jellyfin.Database.Providers.Sqlite/
+```
+- **Size:** 80+ migration files, provider implementation
+- **Used for:** SQLite database support
+- **Can remove:** Yes (PostgreSQL-only fork)
+
+### 2. SQLite NuGet Packages โ
+- `Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite` (in Sqlite provider)
+- `Microsoft.Data.Sqlite` (in Emby.Server.Implementations)
+
+### 3. Project References โ
+- `Jellyfin.Server.Implementations` โ SQLite provider
+- Any test projects referencing SQLite
+
+---
+
+## Current SQLite References
+
+### Files Containing SQLite References
+
+1. **Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.csproj**
+ ```xml
+
+ ```
+
+2. **Emby.Server.Implementations.csproj**
+ ```xml
+
+ ```
+
+3. **Jellyfin.Database.Providers.Sqlite.csproj**
+ ```xml
+
+ ```
+
+---
+
+## Decision: Keep or Remove?
+
+### Option 1: Remove Completely (Recommended for PostgreSQL-Only Fork) โ
+
+**Pros:**
+- โ
Smaller deployment (~10-20MB less)
+- โ
Clear PostgreSQL-only focus
+- โ
No SQLite DLLs in output
+- โ
Simpler maintenance
+
+**Cons:**
+- โ No SQLite migration path
+- โ Breaking change for SQLite users
+- โ Can't fall back to SQLite
+
+**Recommendation:** โ
**Remove it** - This is a PostgreSQL fork, not a multi-database fork
+
+### Option 2: Keep for Migration Support (Not Recommended)
+
+**Pros:**
+- โ
Can migrate from SQLite
+- โ
Backward compatibility
+
+**Cons:**
+- โ Larger deployment
+- โ Confusing messaging
+- โ Maintenance burden
+
+**Recommendation:** โ Migration can be done separately with tooling
+
+---
+
+## Removal Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Remove SQLite Provider from Deployment โ
+
+**Action:** Exclude SQLite from publish without removing project
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Deployment doesn't include SQLite DLLs
+- Source code remains for reference
+- Can still build if needed
+
+**Implementation:**
+```xml
+
+
+
+ true
+
+
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Remove SQLite Project Reference (Recommended) โ
+
+**Action:** Remove project reference from Jellyfin.Server.Implementations
+
+**Implementation:** See detailed steps below
+
+### Phase 3: Remove SQLite Project Entirely (Optional)
+
+**Action:** Delete the entire SQLite provider project
+
+**When:** After confirming Phase 2 works in production
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Backup Current State
+
+```bash
+git checkout -b remove-sqlite
+git commit -m "Checkpoint before removing SQLite"
+```
+
+### Step 2: Remove SQLite Project Reference
+
+**File:** `Jellyfin.Server.Implementations/Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.csproj`
+
+```xml
+
+
+```
+
+### Step 3: Remove SQLite Package from Emby
+
+**File:** `Emby.Server.Implementations/Emby.Server.Implementations.csproj`
+
+Check if `Microsoft.Data.Sqlite` is actually used:
+
+```bash
+# Search for SQLite usage
+grep -r "Microsoft.Data.Sqlite" Emby.Server.Implementations/
+```
+
+If not used, remove:
+```xml
+
+
+```
+
+### Step 4: Update Solution File (Optional)
+
+**File:** `Jellyfin.sln`
+
+Consider removing SQLite provider project from solution:
+```
+# Comment out or remove
+# Project("{...}") = "Jellyfin.Database.Providers.Sqlite", "src\Jellyfin.Database\Jellyfin.Database.Providers.Sqlite\Jellyfin.Database.Providers.Sqlite.csproj", "{...}"
+```
+
+### Step 5: Exclude from Build
+
+**File:** `Directory.Build.props` or individual project
+
+```xml
+
+
+ $(DefaultItemExcludes);**/Jellyfin.Database.Providers.Sqlite/**
+
+```
+
+### Step 6: Update Publish Profile
+
+**File:** Publish profiles or `Jellyfin.Server.csproj`
+
+```xml
+
+
+ Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite;Microsoft.Data.Sqlite
+
+```
+
+### Step 7: Test Build
+
+```bash
+# Clean build
+dotnet clean
+rm -rf lib/
+
+# Build without SQLite
+dotnet build --configuration Release
+
+# Verify no SQLite DLLs
+Get-ChildItem lib/Release/net11.0 -Filter "*Sqlite*"
+# Should return nothing
+```
+
+### Step 8: Test Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Publish
+dotnet publish Jellyfin.Server --configuration Release -o publish/
+
+# Check for SQLite
+Get-ChildItem publish/ -Filter "*Sqlite*" -Recurse
+# Should return nothing
+
+# Verify size reduction
+# Before: ~XXX MB
+# After: ~YYY MB (should be smaller)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Code Changes Needed
+
+### 1. Remove SQLite Database Provider Registration
+
+**File:** Look for SQLite provider registration (likely in Startup or ServiceCollection)
+
+**Search for:**
+```csharp
+services.AddDbContext(options =>
+ options.UseSqlite(...)
+);
+```
+
+**Or:**
+```csharp
+DatabaseProvider.Sqlite
+case "Sqlite":
+```
+
+**Action:** Remove SQLite-specific code paths
+
+### 2. Update Database Provider Enum/Options
+
+If there's a database provider enum or config:
+
+```csharp
+public enum DatabaseProvider
+{
+ // Remove this:
+ // Sqlite,
+ Postgres
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Update Startup Configuration Validation
+
+```csharp
+// Remove SQLite validation
+if (provider == "Sqlite")
+{
+ throw new InvalidOperationException("SQLite is not supported. Use PostgreSQL.");
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Verification Checklist
+
+After removal, verify:
+
+- [ ] Build succeeds without errors
+- [ ] No `*Sqlite*.dll` files in `lib/Release/net11.0/`
+- [ ] No `*Sqlite*.dll` files in published output
+- [ ] Application starts successfully
+- [ ] PostgreSQL connection works
+- [ ] No SQLite references in startup logs
+- [ ] Deployment size reduced
+- [ ] Installer doesn't include SQLite
+
+### Check Build Output
+
+```bash
+# Search for SQLite DLLs
+Get-ChildItem lib/ -Recurse -Filter "*Sqlite*"
+Get-ChildItem lib/ -Recurse -Filter "*SQLite*"
+
+# Should return nothing or only test assemblies
+```
+
+### Check Runtime Logs
+
+```bash
+# Start Jellyfin
+cd lib/Release/net11.0
+dotnet jellyfin.dll
+
+# Check logs for SQLite references
+grep -i sqlite log/*.txt
+# Should return nothing
+```
+
+---
+
+## Deployment Size Reduction
+
+### Expected Savings
+
+**SQLite DLLs:**
+- `Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite.dll` ~150 KB
+- `Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.dll` ~400 KB
+- `SQLitePCLRaw.*.dll` (multiple) ~2-5 MB
+- `e_sqlite3.dll` (native) ~2-3 MB
+
+**Total Expected Savings:** ~5-10 MB
+
+**Plus:**
+- Fewer dependencies to manage
+- Smaller Docker images
+- Faster downloads
+
+---
+
+## Migration Support (Alternative Approach)
+
+If you want to support SQLite โ PostgreSQL migration without including SQLite in runtime:
+
+### Option A: Separate Migration Tool
+
+Create a separate tool: `Jellyfin.MigrationTool`
+
+```bash
+# Separate executable with SQLite support
+dotnet run --project Jellyfin.MigrationTool -- --from-sqlite jellyfin.db --to-postgres "Host=..."
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- SQLite only in migration tool
+- Runtime deployment stays clean
+- Clear separation of concerns
+
+### Option B: Documentation-Only
+
+Document how to migrate using PostgreSQL tools:
+
+```markdown
+## Migrating from SQLite
+
+1. Export SQLite data to SQL/CSV
+2. Import into PostgreSQL using pg_restore or COPY
+3. Start PostgreSQL-enabled Jellyfin
+```
+
+**Recommendation:** โ
Use Option B (documentation)
+
+---
+
+## Update Documentation
+
+### Files to Update
+
+1. **README.md**
+ ```markdown
+ ## Database Support
+
+ This fork uses **PostgreSQL only**. SQLite is not supported.
+
+ For migration from SQLite, see [MIGRATION_GUIDE.md](./docs/MIGRATION_GUIDE.md)
+ ```
+
+2. **INSTALLER_GUIDE.md**
+ - Remove any SQLite references
+ - Emphasize PostgreSQL requirement
+
+3. **QUICKSTART_POSTGRESQL.md**
+ - Make it clear: PostgreSQL only
+ - No SQLite fallback
+
+4. **New:** `SQLITE_REMOVAL.md`
+ - Why SQLite was removed
+ - Migration options
+ - Alternative tools
+
+---
+
+## Git Commit Message
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Remove SQLite support for PostgreSQL-only deployment
+
+- Removed Jellyfin.Database.Providers.Sqlite project reference
+- Removed Microsoft.Data.Sqlite package from Emby.Server.Implementations
+- Excluded SQLite DLLs from build and publish

+- Simplifies maintenance
+- Clarifies project focus
+- Removes unnecessary dependencies
+"
+```
+
+---
+

+- Document breaking change
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+**Current State:**
+- SQLite provider project exists
+- SQLite packages referenced
+- SQLite DLLs in deployment
+
+**Proposed State:**
+- No SQLite provider
+- No SQLite packages
+- PostgreSQL only
+- 5-10 MB smaller deployment
+
+**Impact:**
+- Breaking change for SQLite users
+- Clearer PostgreSQL focus
+- Simpler codebase
+- Better performance
+
+**Status:** ๐ Ready to implement
+**Risk:** Low (PostgreSQL fork)
+**Benefit:** High (clarity and size)
+**Recommendation:** โ
Proceed with removal
+
+---
+
+**Next Steps:**
+1. Review this plan
+2. Test SQLite removal in development
+3. Update documentation
+4. Include in next commit/PR
+5. Announce breaking change clearly
