Hello everyone, I would like to know if there is any way I can use ReplitDB (JavaScript) without Replit itself (ex. on your own computer).
I know that you have to work with REPLIT_DB_URL but how specifically? Can I get proper instructions on how to?
I am assuming you have to put a REPLIT_DB_URL in Client() but I don’t know if that is the solution. Also, is there any way I can get a DB URL without the creation of a random repl?
Create a .env file and put the following in it:
REPLIT_DB_URL="your-database-proxy-server.doxr.repl.co"
No, what I said above, nothing in Client().
Unfortunately no. Use this template to create your database proxy (it would be advisable for Always On on your proxy as well):
Trying now, but I think the database URL changes once in a while?
UptimeRobot?
Oh and I forgot, you have to run
pip install replit
in your command-line prompt.
No, it doesn’t, not if you create a proxy server.
If it works. I’ve heard reports of UptimeRobot not working on Repls.
Oh, no, I’m using JavaScript. I’ll assume that I can just use npm.
Works for me 
Yes,
npm install replit
Great 
No wait sorry!
It has to be
npm install @replit/database
Sorry for the confusion 
Cool!
Also hopefully mods won’t get angry for this but what if I used something like SQLite, is it hard to switch to?
What do you mean by “switch to”?
ex. change from
client.set("muted-users", muted);
to whatever sqlite uses without having to change the code (ex. sqlite is “client”)
I don’t understand what you mean, but I don’t think it will be easy to switch as SQLite and ReplDB are two completely different things.
Guess I’ll have to stick to ReplitDB
I’m trying your solution, but Glitch is being a pain rn.
If I helped, please mark my post as solution! 
Cool, I’ll just mark you and try it later.
Both work actually, although if you use env variables you need to make sure you configure env.
