Datasette is a tool for exploring and publishing data. It allows you to create simple web interfaces for exploring SQLite databases and other sources of tabular data.
In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Datasette on Void Linux.
Before we start, we need to make sure that certain packages are installed on Void Linux. These packages are:
If you don't have these packages installed, you can install them using the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S python3 sqlite3 pip
Once we have the prerequisites, we can install Datasette using pip. Pip is Python's package installer and it comes installed with Python 3.
To install Datasette, run the following command:
pip install datasette
This will download and install the latest version of Datasette.
Once we have Datasette installed, we can start using it to explore data. To start Datasette, run the following command:
datasette serve
This will start the Datasette server and make it available at http://localhost:8001/.
By default, Datasette will look for databases in the current directory. If you have a SQLite database file in your current directory, you can explore it using Datasette by running the following command:
datasette my-database.db
This will start the Datasette server and make your database available at http://localhost:8001/.
You can explore your data using the web interface that Datasette provides. You can search, filter, and sort your data with ease.
That's it! You have now installed Datasette on Void Linux and you have explored your data using the web interface provided by Datasette.
Datasette is a powerful tool for exploring and publishing data, and it's easy to use. Don't hesitate to explore Datasette's documentation to learn more about its features and capabilities.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
