Conveniences for running Datasette on GitHub Codespaces
Installation
Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.
datasette install datasette-codespaces
Tutorial
Using Datasette in GitHub Codespaces provides a detailed tutorial introduction to this plugin.
Usage
Install this when you are using Datasette inside of GitHub Codespaces. It makes the following changes:
- All requests will identified as representing the
root
actor - provided Datasette is running inside Codespaces. This is detected through the presence of theCODESPACE_NAME
environment variable. GitHub restricts access to servers running in the Codespaces environment based on GitHub authentication, so treating all requests as root should be acceptably secure. - The datasette-x-forwarded-host plugin will be installed, ensuring links to other pages within Datasette such as facet navigation work correctly.
