To make voila easier to use, we now open the browser (this is done analogous to the notebook as close as possible). To avoild opening the browser, pass
--no-browser
.Also, analogous to the notebook, it now shows the url it is running at:
This can be customized, using
--Voila.custom_display_url='foobar'
and--Voila.ip=''
for instance, again similar to the classical notebook.A third improvement is hosting directories. Previously this was done using
--Voila.root_dir='/path/to'
and no giving extra arguments. With this PR, if the passed argument is a directory, it wil set the root dir.Future: I've left in some commented out code for the tokens and SSL, I don't think we should attack that now.
