Voila Dashboard base url

Question

When running voila my_notebook.ipynb, voila starts properly and the dashboard is displayed. When setting the base url (with --Voila.base_url='/my-base-url'):

• A 403: Forbidden error is shown in the browser
• A WARNING:tornado.general:403 GET /test/voila/files/test (::1): File not whitelisted warning is received in the terminal.

Adding the --VoilaConfiguration.file_whitelist="['.*']" argument to the voila command results in:

• 404: Not Found in the browser
• WARNING:tornado.access:404 GET /test/voila/files/test (::1) 1.38ms in terminal

In my understanding specifying the base-url as '/my-base-url' should make the dashboard available at localhost:8866/my-base-url. Is this how it should work or am I misunderstanding something?

Answer 1

the base url indicates the folder where your notebook is located, you'll still need to use localhost:8866/my-base-url/name-of-your-notebook-file
