(Tensorboard)

(notebook)

An example of running Jupyter notebook + tensorboard on mybinder.org. To launch tensorboard go to:

https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/btel/binder-tensorboard/master?urlpath=%2fproxy%2f6006%2f

This example shows how to:

• expose the tensorboard interface on binder,
• use the jupyter-server-proxy extension to map a web application running on a port inaccessible from the internet (6006 for example) to jupyter path (/proxy/6006/),
• launch tensorboard on startup using the custom server extension (tensorboardserverextension.py).

Once the tensorboard is launched you can also open and run the notebooks by replacing the /proxy/6006/ part of the URL (or everything after /proxy) with /tree (or /lab for jupyter lab view).

When you run the training of the neural net in the notebook you can watch the progress of the run live (you can keep tensorboard open in a separate tab).

tensorboard launches a webserver on a given port (by default 6006). In many environments (like dockerized deployments), the port is not visible in the external network. To expose it, we use the jupyter-servery-proxy extension to proxy it to the jupyter server URL (/proxy/6006/, mind the trailing slash!)

The tensorboardserverextension.py file, which is executed by jupyter server on start up, launches the tensorboard server.
