Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

renku-jupyterlab-vnc

A JupyterLab extension for VNC.

This extension will not work as a standalone.

It is meant to be used in the Docker image created with docker/Dockerfile.

  • This extension creates a menu, palette and a launcher for opening a VNC frame in a Jupyter tab.
  • This extension does not provide a VNC server. The VNC server must be started by the docker container in which this extension is installed.

Prerequisites

  • JupyterLab
  • Jupyterlab nbserverproxy

Installation

In ./docker/Dockerfile

jupyter labextension install @renku/jupyterlab-vnc

TODO

This was quickly put together for a PoC and not meant to be production-ready.

It requires the minimal novnc, webproxy, openbox, x11vnc, xvfb combo in a docker container, but it should work with other VNC server and windows manager.

The VNC is started before Jupyterlab starts. It uses nbserverproxy to further proxy novnc's 6080 port through Jupyterlab's 8888, which requires some runtime adjustment to properly set the path parameter in the URL. This is currently done in the plugin's settings before starting jupyterlab, which could be better handled with a server extensions.

Opengl will not work with xvfb, you'll probably need xorg if that's what you want.

Ports and resolution are hardcoded.

Development

For a development install (requires npm version 4 or later), do the following in the repository directory:

npm install
npm run build
jupyter labextension link .

To rebuild the package and the JupyterLab app:

npm run build
jupyter lab build
