Passing in
--internal my_internal.db
over and over again can get repetitive.This PR adds a new configurable env variable
DATASETTE_INTERNAL_DB_PATH
. If it's defined, then it takes place as the path to the internal database. Users can still overwrite this behavior by passing in their own--internal internal.db
flag.In draft mode for now, needs tests and documentation.
Side note: Maybe we can have a sections in the docs that lists all the "configuration environment variables" that Datasette respects? I did a quick grep and found:
DATASETTE_LOAD_PLUGINS
DATASETTE_SECRETS
