Sorry for my ignorance, but why do I lose the account created by "fabmanager create-admin --app caravel" every time after rebooting my computer?
I think I have strictly followed the instructions and Caravel seems to work perfectly.
However after restarting the system, executing "fabmanager list-users --app caravel" returns no users at all, and all the slices and dashboards disappear too.
Am i missing something (besides the user account)?

Hi,

By default the sqlite database is located here: `/tmp/caravel.db`, `c:\tmp\caravel.db` on Windows. Do you have a script that cleans up your temp space on boot?

Hi, I use Ubuntu 15.10 and according to http://serverfault.com/a/377353 it does clean up /tmp on every boot.
So this can be easily fixed by creating caravel_config.py and overriding SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI ?

Yes, that should take care of it. I just created a GH issue to move the default location from /tmp to somewhere in user space.

Thanks, or you can mention it in the document as new users might overlook the Configuration section underneath.
