Add a utility to the Report that will help decipher if a user is in a "remote" environment
Users are regularly running into issues setting up/using localtileserver in remote environments -- whether by running Jupyter on a remote server or within an isolated network on their own device (e.g., within Docker).
I'm thinking that there might be a way to provide a surface-level test as to whether the user is in one of these scenarios. It would be nice to provide a utility method that would try to do this deciphering and then include that as additional metadata for this package's scooby report. That way, when a user has an issue, they can include a scooby report that would include something like:
remote status : likely JupyterHub
with maybe a few possible scenarios:
- likely JupyterHub
- Isolated network
- Unknown
- Running locally
At the very least, I could provide a test widget that would give the user errors rather than silently failing like the map views currently do (because a 404 tile URL is actually okay - means that there's no data for that tile in many cases)
