S3 bucket

You need to have AWS AccessKeyId and SecretAccessKey that have read and write access to an S3 bucket. The SQLite database will be backed up to this bucket constantly, and restored from the bucket on startup. The easiest way to create both the bucket and the user is to use s3-credentials.

% pip install s3-credentials
% s3-credentials create shortme-bucket-for-database --create-bucket

The assumption that you have AWS credentials set up on your machine.
