Datasette plugin for making the internal database visible for debugging

Datasette 1.0a5 made [the internal database](https://docs.datasette.io/en/1.0a5/internals.html#datasette-s-internal-database) no longer visible through the Datasette interface.

This plugin brings it back, for debugging purposes.

## Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

```bash

datasette install datasette-visible-internal-db

```

The internal database will now be publicly visible at `/_internal` in your Datasette instance.

## Controlling access to the internal database

You can use Datasette's [permissions mechanism](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/authentication.html#permissions) to control who is allowed to interact with the internal database.

To restrict access to just the `root` actor, drop this into your configuration:

```yaml

databases:

  _internal:

    allow:

      id: root

```
