Cannot access SQLite database on Elastic Beanstalk using Flask

I have a Flask application which includes a SQLite database. The database can be accessed when I run the application locally but when I deploy it to AWS Elastic Beanstalk, I receive an error in the logs stating this:

OperationalError: unable to open database file

I'm completely unaware what the cause of this problem is. I set the database location in the config if that information is needed.

Is it an issue with Elastic Beanstalk which I can solve or is it an issue on my side which I can fix?

Please specify if any more information is needed, thanks.
