# JOBS_BACKEND_UNREACHABLE

**Jobs backend unreachable**

## What happened

The configured jobs backend (memory/sqlite/redis) wasn't reachable when enqueuing or claiming a job.

## How to fix

Verify the backend is healthy. For Redis, ping with `redis-cli`. For sqlite, check disk space + file permissions.

## Example

```ts
import { JobRunner } from "@foundryprotocol/0gkit-jobs";
import { SqliteBackend } from "@foundryprotocol/0gkit-jobs/backends/sqlite";

const runner = new JobRunner({ backend: new SqliteBackend({ path: ".jobs.db" }) });
await runner.start();
// If the sqlite file lives on an unwritable disk this throws JOBS_BACKEND_UNREACHABLE.
```
