Possibility to set proxy start on jupyter machine

Proposed change

I would like to start a process when user start they machine . But for now the process start only when the user click on the launcher button, so can we have an autosatart option to start on machine boot ?

Or can the proxy allow to connect to already running app with the launcher entry present ?

Alternative options

Who would use this feature?

(Optional): Suggest a solution

Hi @BobCashStory , I think starting at boot is out of scope for jupyter-server-proxy, but you can always do this via the init system, e.g. a systemd unit file.

jupyter-server-proxy can already view an existing service however. For example you can visit /proxy/5000/. We don’t have an elegant way to do this via a launcher however since we do require the command in the config.

If you are working in a BinderHub environment, you can add startup items to the .binder/start file:

#!/bin/bash

nohup mycommand subcommand &

exec "$@"
