Proxying with same URL as baseurl for all users

[rahuldave]

I am trying to run the weights and biases server, which runs under docker, and it seems to expose a problem i am having making jupyterhub the interface into a cluster of gpu machines. Basically, the backend weights and biases server probably needs a baseurl setting to work properly, fince the jupyter-server-proxy rewrites the URL. But there is only one instance of this server I run, and if I am passing the server a baseurl, I cant pass it a different one for each user.

In other words, for a server shared by multiple users but needing a incoming path configuration, what do I do. I couldnt find any docs, so if this is possible and someone can show me the way, I'd love to put in a documentation pull request ...

This is a bit vague for me to think clearly about as I'm not understanding your situation and the needs you have of this project in your situation. I think though that if you are using jupyter-server-proxy to start some process and you want to inform that process of a base url, you can maybe (depending on the process you start) providing configuration ahead of time or by using a command that includes {base_url} that will expand to something of relevance.

Related documentation is here: https://jupyter-server-proxy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/server-process.html#command

Hmm hmmm I think I don't understand the situation well enough, and my response won't help you. But I also suspect its out of scope to help you in this forum focused on developing this software. Can you post a request for help in discourse.jupyter.org instead perhaps?
