+# Kubernetes Example: SQLite to PostgreSQL Hook
+
+This example demonstrates how to use `postgres-sqlite` in a Kubernetes environment to redirect an application`s SQLite calls to a PostgreSQL database without modifying the application image.
+
+## How it works
+
+1.  **Init Container**: Downloads the `sqlite_hook.so` library and installs `libpq5` (the PostgreSQL client library). It then copies the hook and `libpq.so.5` to a shared `emptyDir` volume.
+2.  **Environment Variables**:
+    *   `LD_PRELOAD`: Tells the dynamic linker to load our hook before any other libraries.
+    *   `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`: Ensures the linker can find `libpq.so.5` inside the shared volume.
+    *   `PG_CONNINFO`: Provides the PostgreSQL connection string used by the hook.
+3.  **Volume Sharing**: Both the init container and the main container mount the `patch-libs` volume to share the library files.
+
+## Files
+
+- `deployment.yaml`: A sample Kubernetes Deployment manifest.
+
+## Usage
+
+1.  Customize the `PG_CONNINFO` in `deployment.yaml`.
+2.  Ensure your main container image is based on an OS compatible with the downloaded `.so` (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04).
+3.  Apply the manifest:
+    ```bash
+    kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
+    ```
