Support for AI Platform Notebooks

AI Platform Notebooks are accessible via Inverse Proxy.

Inverse Proxy only support backend on JupyterLab port 8080. This plugin is launching a new web server in a random port, hence when we install it, and try to display GPU information just a blank screen is displayed, as Proxy cant route back the requests on this new web server.

Questions:

1. Can you support rendering the details inside JupyterLab without launching a new webserver?
2. If #1 is not possible, can you add support for a URL can be used which will be used to render the contents.
3. I’m able to start ngrok on this random port and access the local URL. I would like to be able to provide this URL to extension and when I click in extension content is rendered.

ngrok generates a public URL: https://9d4232d76b1b.ngrok.io/

Flow:

• Extension will allow me to configure a public URL: https://9d4232d76b1b.ngrok.io
• When I click on GPU-memory it will render: and it will just access URL + resource. Example: https://9d4232d76b1b.ngrok.io/GPU-Memory, etc.

Yes, I should be able to run a local proxy version and test. Proxy do not support websockets but it does have a shim to enable support. https://github.com/google/inverting-proxy/blob/a121408eb881af9e75b10064b46258c4ab12c47f/agent/websockets/shim.go#L41

I will test and get back to you. Thanks

@gogasca did you have any luck with this? I’m experiencing the same issue myself.
