Where Does Quassel Store Cores and Logs?
Quassel core SQLite database plus client config under quassel-irc.org dirs on every OS.
Last updated
Quassel splits duties: the core holds chat history in quassel-storage.sqlite, clients hold UI config. Both live under quassel-irc.org folders per OS.
Monolithic installs keep both halves on one machine. Core plus client setups split them, so back up the core side for history.
Where Quassel stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\quassel-irc.org
quassel-storage.sqlite for the core plus quasselclient.conf. Same folder for monolithic installs.
~/Library/Application Support/quassel-irc.org
Same file split. In Finder use Go > Go to Folder.
~/.config/quassel-irc.org
Same layout. Distro core packages may run as a quasselcore user with its own home.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Quassel chat history?
Copy quassel-storage.sqlite with the core stopped. Client configs ride along in the same folder.
Can Quassel use Postgres instead of SQLite?
Yes for the core backend. The file paths above describe the default SQLite setup most installs use.
