i’m trying to proxy the wandb “local” server that runs under docker behind jupyterhub. (Playing with an on-prem install to do labs in the new full stack-dl course). Jupyterhub has a proxy server which lets one obtain an app at an arbitrary port show up at a given url. The wandb server wants a particular url, but to be behind jupyterhub i need the base url for the wandb server to be something like http://hostname/hub/user-redirect/proxy/8080. Is it possible to set a base url as an option in the docker container/arguments to the local web server in the container there?
Hi Rahul!
You can set a port on wandb local as wandb local start --port PORT in order to set a port for your local instance. Does that fulfill your usecase?
Thanks,

I actually do this…the problem is not in the port. I can even get to the port but the html wont form. This is because the wandb server hardcodes (i think) the URLS in the docker server. So I was wondering if there was a variable such as baseurl that i can supply to the container (possibly rebuilding it) which will let me provide a prefix-url to the wandb server. Now whatever leading string the jupyterhub proxy provides in the URL can be incorporated
Hi Ramit,
Any thoughts? Where I am trying to get this to work (a healthcare company) has strict data egress restrictions, and proxying through jupyterhub rather than exposing the port is what we need. Basically i need a way to change the base URL on the wandb server of this is at all possible…
Not sure exactly what your issue is, but I had a similar issue when I was testing out self-hosting. I was using a SOCKS proxy and while I could connect to the server I couldn’t login as I kept getting stuck in a retry loop. What did work for me was using SSH port forwarding, but I ended up not self hosting in the end, so I never found a proper solution.
Its worse for me, the CSS and JS wont load. The wandb server is expecting a particular URL, but because jupyter-server-proxy adds a https://jupyterhubhost/user/proxy/PORTNUM/ to the beginning of the URLS, and wandb server expects an absolute url (i think) nothing is properly visible…
Hey @rahuldave,
Apologies about the delay here, you would want to start your server like this in that case:
wandb server start --env HOST=<HOST>:<PORT>
Thanks,
Ramit
Not sure I made my use case clear: i am not trying to start wandb server at a particular port. That proxying is taken care of by jupyterhub. What i am trying to do iis to have the base URL of the server something like: “https://jupyterhubhost/user/proxy/PORTNUM/” because thats what jupyter gives me. The internal linlks in wandb server are expecting the top level to be “/js” or “/css” for example, but i am stuck with the base url of the form “/user/proxy/PORTNUM/” so that the css url for example is “/user/proxy/PORTNUM/css”
Hey Rahul,
The HOST I specified on the previous comment is the base URL for the server. Is there any errors/odd behaviour you see in particular when running this command? It would be great if you could share a few screenshots / a screen recording so that we can understand what’s happening on your machine.
Thanks,
Ramit
