Could you add the feature to use an external database server?

Hello,
I found this great Web UI when managing my downloaded videos on yt-dlp.

One thing I am concerned about is the use of a local database (SQLite).
If this could use an external RDB server (e.g., PostgreSQL), it would be more resistant to data loss, etc., and more usable.

I am not too familiar with Golang, although I think just need to change one line here.

yt-dlp-web-ui/server/server.go

Line 83 in 16f8f74

db, err := sql.Open("sqlite", cfg.DBPath)

As long as Connection settings, etc., I can be configurable in the config file (even if not in the UI).

Thank you.

Oops, I was mistaken.
The database was not used to manage the history of downloaded videos, only the templates, right?

I thought I could see the list of downloaded videos in the web UI. If not, the database seems to be fine with the traditional SQLite.

You're right @masukatto0281 the sqlite database is only for templates.

Downloads' statuses are periodically serialized to a file.
The file is used only for download-resuming purposes.
