At https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/services.html I checked that a service can not access the loaded JupyterHub configuration. I see three options out there and I don't like any of them: 1) Re-load the...

In my example configuration [here](https://collaborating.tuhh.de/cmk3624/minimal-jupyterhub-docker-config/-/blob/master/jupyterhub/jupyterhub_config.py) the important part regarding the Docker volumes is listed as such: ``` notebook_dir = '/home/jovyan/' c.DockerSpawner.notebook_dir = notebook_dir c.DockerSpawner.volumes = { 'jupyterhub-user-{username}': notebook_dir } ```...

So let's see if I got you right here: You suggest the DockerSpawner tells via the [server state](https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/_static/rest-api/index.html#/definitions/Server) which docker volume belongs to it (in my case `jupyterhub-user-{username}`) and this...

@rkdarst thank you so much for sharing that!

Actually the server state is alreay published, see [this code](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/blob/76c9111d80660e93578f80dbe441cfb702c1b207/jupyterhub/apihandlers/users.py#L126-L138) - thanks to all participants of [this conversation](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/issues/1704) to arrive there! Since [the generic spawner api](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/blob/master/jupyterhub/spawner.py#L700) does not prescribe any...

That sounds fine to me as long as I get the mentioned work done!

From your quick explanation I have many detail-related conceptual questions, e.g. some visualizations might help etc. Regarding your development plan I am not sure. Why do you think it should...

I am fine with that at #9 we can discuss some general design issues and here we discuss how this can be used for the purpose I have mentioned in...

I agree with @manics that hardcoding something might have many inevitable and negative consequences. There are already several notification solutions out there, e.g. https://github.com/notifme/notifme-sdk or https://github.com/HealthByRo/universal_notifications could do the job....

@yuvipanda do you know what could be done to push this topic forward?
