For instance: ``` datasette -s plugins.datasette-complex-plugin.configs '{""foo"": [1,2,3], ""bar"": ""baz""}' ``` could also be provided using: ``` export DS_PLUGINS_DATASETTE-COMPLEX-PLUGIN_CONFIGS='{""foo"": [1,2,3], ""bar"": ""baz""}' datasette ``` (I do not like mixing `-` and `_` in env vars but I do not have a best easily reversible example at the moment) FYI, you could take some inspiration from another great open source data project, Metabase: https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/configuring-metabase/config-file https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/configuring-metabase/environment-variables","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1855885427, https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2143#issuecomment-1690799608,https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/2143,1690799608,IC_kwDOBm6k_c5kx434,77071,2023-08-24T00:09:47Z,2023-08-24T00:10:41Z,NONE,"@simonw, FWIW, I do exactly the same thing for one of my projects (both to allow multiple configuration files to be passed on the command line and setting individual values) and it works quite well for me and my users. I even use the same parameter name for both (https://studio.zerobrane.com/doc-configuration#configuration-via-command-line), but I understand why you may want to use different ones for files and individual values. There is one small difference that I accept code snippets, but I don't think it matters much in this case.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1855885427,
