Hello @bernd316

At the moment globaleaks is packaged to use an embedded sqlite database. This choice is made to keep the threat model self-cointained and minimize exposure (e.g. the direct connection to a local db make it possible for the application to ensure more security like secure deletion).

This said the application uses the SQLAlchemy ORM so that some (not minor) work it would eventually possible to extend the software to use a remote database.

Feel free to provide your feedback and your questions if any.
