# Lightbase
Lightbase is an abstract, low-cost database library built on peer-to-peer networks. To simplify operations with databases, Lightbase is built to be:
+ **Affordable**: as low-cost as possible leveraging peer-to-peer databases.
+ **Frictionless**: fast and easy for developers to use. Built on REST API (minimal dependencies required) and HTTP-inspired calls.
+ **Unique**: unique items that can be accessed across different databases.
Lightbase is currently built on [IPFS](https://ipfs.tech).
Feel free to create an issue for feature requests.
### Running IPFS
Installing `ipfs` on Linux for [terminal](https://docs.ipfs.tech/install/command-line/):
```bash
wget https://dist.ipfs.tech/kubo/v0.28.0/kubo_v0.28.0_linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xvzf kubo_v0.28.0_linux-amd64.tar.gz
cd kubo
sudo bash install.sh
```
In this project's root folder:
```bash
ipfs init
ipfs daemon
```
### Running the Backend
```bash
cd backend
pip install -r requirements.txt
fastapi dev main.py
```
