Will be working on this PR later tomorrow and have complete by Tuesday. Goal is to make use of the conda-store api to get available environments.

@HarshCasper some details on how to accomplish this. In the [conda_store_config.py](https://github.com/Quansight/qhub/blob/main/qhub/template/stages/07-kubernetes-services/modules/kubernetes/services/conda-store/config/conda_store_config.py#L1) we will need to generate an api token via ```python c.AuthenticationBackend.predefined_tokens = { f"{config["cdsdashboard-secret"]}": { "primary_namespace": "cdsdashboards", "role_bindings": {...

Hey @benjaminleighton thanks for the issue! > The https://conda-store.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide.html#create-create-environment documentation states that users authenticated or unauthenticated can create environments. I'd expect there to be some authentication required for environment creation....

I also made some fixes to Conda-Store which fixed some authentication issues. So I've created an issue that we need to bump to the latest conda-store version https://github.com/Quansight/qhub/issues/1263.

This feature is no longer blocked by cdsdashboards. I added this feature in https://github.com/ideonate/cdsdashboards/pull/104. A new release [0.6.2](https://github.com/ideonate/cdsdashboards/releases/tag/0.6.2) includes this feature.

Also there is a blocker in that not all cloud providers behave the same with registries. Digital Ocean if I last remember only allows one registry per account ... not...

@Adam-D-Lewis this is done via https://github.com/Quansight/qhub/blob/main/qhub/stages/tf_objects.py#L27-L64 and dynamically generated and added to each stage in https://github.com/Quansight/qhub/blob/main/qhub/stages/tf_objects.py#L183-L250. I would like to add this support though. If you were to develop this...

This is a feature worth having but low priority since we have not had anyone ask for this. Let us know if this issue is important to you!

I'd like to make this a high priority for the qhub 0.4.2. This will allow us a way to have secure valid certs for qhub local deployments and allow getting...

@JoshKarpel can confirm this works when I tested it on my code to drop the user into an editor and resuming textual. This will resolve issues #1148, #1093 and discussion...
