Autostart or not?

[consideRatio]

I wrote a comment in jupyter-server-proxy about a feature request to autostart a launcher command after jupyter-server-proxy has loaded its configuration.

If there is a feature like autostart, should we make jupyter-syncthing-proxy default to autostarting its jupyter-server-proxy configured launcher command - to help syncing take place even without having visited the syncthing launcher entry?

Or is this an irrelevant question because you need to re-setup credentials anyhow as they perhaps aren't persisted?

Should definitely autostart once that feature is available in jupyter-server-proxy!
