[FEATURE REQUEST] File-only database about lldap HOT 1 CLOSED

The schema of the database is intentionally not part of the API: we want to be able to modify or add things freely. In particular, the database contains more than users and groups, and even user data is sometimes stored in an unreadable format.

Moreover, the DB is queried using SQL, taking advantage of joins and filters. Reimplementing this over plain files would require us to, essentially, create an SQLite DB, apply the bootstrap script, then work as normal.

This is a pretty big effort that we don't have the resources for, and that would complicate the project and the interface. I don't think we should do it. If you think it's really necessary, then you'll have to provide a better reason than "it'd be cool!" :)
The setup with SQLite is already pretty darn simple.
