Create a local copy of database files from a Datasette instance
Project description
datasette-clone
Create a local copy of database files from a Datasette instance.
See datasette-clone on my blog for background on this project.
How to install
$ pip install datasette-clone
Usage
This only works against Datasette instances running immutable databases (with the -i
option). Databases published using the datasette publish
command should be compatible with this tool.
To download copies of all .db
files from an instance, run:
datasette-clone https://latest.datasette.io
You can provide an optional second argument to specify a directory:
datasette-clone https://latest.datasette.io /tmp/here-please
The command stores its own copy of a databases.json
manifest and uses it to only download databases that have changed the next time you run the command.
It also stores a copy of the instance's metadata.json
to ensure you have a copy of any source and licensing information for the downloaded databases.
If your instance is protected by an API token, you can use --token
to provide it:
datasette-clone https://latest.datasette.io --token=xyz
For verbose output showing what the tool is doing, use -v
.
