refs 2157, specifically this comment

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
