Example usage:
datasette package fivethirtyeight.db \
--tag fivethirtyeight \
--metadata=538-metadata.json
This will create a temporary directory, generate a Dockerfile, copy in the
SQLite database and metadata file, then build that as a new docker image and
tag that in your local Docker repository as fivethirtyeight:latest.
You can then run the image like so:
docker run -p 8006:8001 fivethirtyeight
This will expose port 8001 in the container (the default) as port 8006 on your
host.
Closes#67
If provided, the --metadata option is the path to a JSON file containing
metadata that should be displayed alongside the dataset.
datasette /tmp/fivethirtyeight.db --metadata /tmp/metadata.json
Currently that metadata format looks like this:
{
"title": "Five Thirty Eight",
"license": "CC Attribution 4.0 License",
"license_url": "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/",
"source": "fivethirtyeight/data on GitHub",
"source_url": "https://github.com/fivethirtyeight/data"
}
If provided, this will be used by the index template and to populate the
common footer.
The publish command also accepts this argument, and will package any provided
metadata up and include it with the resulting Docker container.
datasette publish --metadata /tmp/metadata.json /tmp/fivethirtyeight.db
Closes#68
Building metadata is now optional. If you want to do it, do this:
datasette build *.db --metadata=metadata.json
Then when you run the server you can tell it to read from metadata:
datasette serve *.db --metadata=metadata.json
The Dockerfile generated by datasette publish now uses this mechanism.
Closes#60
