Clarify litestream's stability in Docker volume-like setups (over network, or not)

[vanschelven]

Litestream recommends running as a sidecar in Docker, which means exposing the same DB to multiple containers. But is this really supported? I previously researched such a setup, and arrived at the sqlite forum... key quotes:

Question:

I think VM/docker volumes do not work with WAL mode for the same reasons as WAL mode not working on network disks (guess: two OS's do not know about each others locks).

Part of the answer

Docker is like a dory (a wee little row boat) that has a hole in the bottom. It matters not whether you put your dory on the Ocean or a Lake, or even in the toilet. Water will still perculate up through the holes and drown you.

Did I allow myself to get too scared by those quotes? What are the implications for litestream?

I arrived here not as a (current) litestream user but as someone who has a strong interest in running a similar setup. I apologize if opening an issue for this was not the way to go forward, I'm happy to take the discussion to a different location if that's more appropriate.
