Hello,

I’ve two questions about my dashboard and jupyter Notebook.

I’ve a bash script which recover the output of the df command in 99 servers ( Linux and AIX ). Each output is locally save in a csv file.

My script allow to create three dropdown : one for the server name, the second for the date and the last to choose an filesystem as filter. Then, a table appear with the CSV followed by a graph.

Everytime that I need to use my dashboard, I’ve to run jupyter notebook on my terminal ( it’s mean that I can’t use my terminal ), then I’ve to go on [http://localhost/tree:8888](http://localhost/tree:8888).

First question : there is a way to ensure that jupyter notebook was already run in background ?

Second question : there is a way to access at my dashboard by an URL that looks like : [http://localhost/MY\_DASHBOARD](http://localhost/MY_DASHBOARD) ?

Basically, I just want to have an access at my dashboard like it was an web page… But I don’t know how to do that. Do you have any documentation to do this step by step ?

Thanks a lot ! 🙂

For the second question, you can directly link to a specific notebook in the path. However, it sounds like preferably you want the interface to not just be the default notebook as well. For that you can use [Appmode](https://github.com/oschuett/appmode) or [Voila](https://voila.readthedocs.io/en/stable/using.html). For both of those you’d also need to specify opening the specific notebook, in the form of an app now, by using the URL. For Appmode, this is addressed [here](https://github.com/oschuett/appmode#description).

More along these lines has been discussed [here](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/how-to-transform-a-jupyter-notebook-into-a-webapp/758), [here](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/self-hosting-custom-jupyter-notebooks/708/3), [here](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/thoughts-and-experiences-from-using-jupyter-in-enterprise/2572/6), and [here](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/thoughts-and-experiences-from-using-jupyter-in-enterprise/2572/7).
