Description

Inspired by this article: https://cldellow.com/2018/06/22/sqlite-parquet-vtable.html#sqlite-database-indexed--squashed

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SquashFS is "a compressed read-only file system for Linux" - which means it could be a really nice fit for Datasette and its read-only SQLite databases.

It would be interesting to explore a Dockerfile recipe that used SquashFS to compress the SQLite database file that was bundled up by datasette package and friends.
