publish:publish-custom-metadata-and-plugins	publish	publish-custom-metadata-and-plugins	Custom metadata and plugins	datasette publish accepts a number of additional options which can be used to further customize your Datasette instance. You can define your own Metadata and deploy that with your instance like so: datasette publish cloudrun --service=my-service mydatabase.db -m metadata.json If you just want to set the title, license or source information you can do that directly using extra options to datasette publish : datasette publish cloudrun mydatabase.db --service=my-service \ --title="Title of my database" \ --source="Where the data originated" \ --source_url="http://www.example.com/" You can also specify plugins you would like to install. For example, if you want to include the datasette-vega visualization plugin you can use the following: datasette publish cloudrun mydatabase.db --service=my-service --install=datasette-vega If a plugin has any Secret configuration values you can use the --plugin-secret option to set those secrets at publish time. For example, using Heroku with datasette-auth-github you might run the following command: datasette publish heroku my_database.db \ --name my-heroku-app-demo \ --install=datasette-auth-github \ --plugin-secret datasette-auth-github client_id your_client_id \ --plugin-secret datasette-auth-github client_secret your_client_secret	["Publishing data", "datasette publish"]	[{"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette-vega", "label": "datasette-vega"}, {"href": "https://github.com/simonw/datasette-auth-github", "label": "datasette-auth-github"}]
