273878873 MDU6SXNzdWUyNzM4Nzg4NzM= 91 Option to serve databases from a different prefix, serve regular content elsewhere 9599 closed 0     1 2017-11-14T17:32:46Z 2017-12-10T03:07:58Z 2017-12-10T03:07:53Z OWNER  

It would be useful if the databases themselves could be served from a prefix e.g.

datasette serve mydb.db --path-prefix=db

Now my database is at http://localhost:8001/db/mydb-23423

This would free up the rest of the URL namespace for other things. Maybe we could have an option to serve static content from a known folder e.g.

datasette serve mydb.db --path-prefix=db --root-content=~/my-project/static

Now a hit to http://localhost:8001/news/ serves content from ~/my-project/static/news/index.html

This would make it trivial to package up entire HTML/CSS/JS apps with one or more underlying SQLite databases. Running without --cors would be fine here because any JS apps would be hosted on the same origin.
