It's currently not possible to access the database used by the AceBaseServer instance. However, this is desirable if one wants to add "cloud functions" to their database server. Right now, the only way to do this is to create a separate app that connects to the server through an AceBaseClient.

Current solution:

const db = new AceBaseClient({ ... });
await db.ready();
await db.auth.signIn('admin', 'thepassword');

// Monitor images being added by users, resize them to multiple sizes:
db.ref('uploads/images').on('child_added', async snap => {
    // Resize
});

Desired solution:

const server = new AceBaseServer(dbname, settings);
await server.ready();

// Monitor images being added by users, resize them to multiple sizes:
server.db.ref('uploads/images').on('child_added', async snap => {
    // Resize
    // NOTE: heavy tasks should be done in worker thread to keep server responsive
});
