If I have to deploy Ktor Rest APIs using SQLite DB, so I need JRE or Server JRE to be installed on my server? And which version of JRE?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

It depends on a particular module. Some modules require JRE 1.7 and others JRE 1.8. There is a Java client engine that requires JRE 11. You can safely use JRE 11 or JRE 1.8 (if you don't plan to use the Java engine).

My server starts like this, does that mean I'm using Java Engine ?

embeddedServer(Netty, port = 8080, host = "0.0.0.0") {
	configureContentNegotiation()
	configureRouting()
}.start(wait = true)

Also I was looking to download JRE all I can find is 1.8 but not 11/16/17 JREs

And what's the difference between Normal JRE and Server JRE?

No, it's for an HTTP client https://ktor.io/docs/http-client-engines.html#java

Here is the description of a difference between those two https://stackoverflow.com/a/33407476/13963150

So I guess Server JRE should be good for Ktor, right?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Yes, I think.

Thanks a lot

One last thing, where can I get JRE 11? 😅

At this link only JRE 8 is available, all other versions have JDK only. Any idea about that?
