Bokeh: change the endpoints for /static

Question

Is there a way to change the endpoint that static JS files get served up from in Bokeh?

• I have a number of bokeh dashboards that are accessed from behind a load balancer
• Any request to https://myloadbalancer/{dashboard_name} is sent to the load balancer
• The loadbalancer then routes the requests to the correct dashboard server based on the value of /{dashboard_name}
• For any given dashboard, bokeh then attempts to access static javascript via https://myloadbalancer/static
• For this to work, I need to create a new bokeh server just to serve up static files and then configure the loadbalancer to route requests to https://myloadbalancer/static to the new server
• This approach is fine, until you start getting different javascript dependencies in the different dashboards
• Does anyone know of a way to change the /static path of a bokeh dashboard. So that for example it reads static files from https://myloadbalancer/{dashboard_name}/static?

Answer 1

You can run your bokeh serve command with the option --prefix <base_path>. This will put <base_path> behind every resource requested to the Bokeh (Torando) web server, this applies also for /static resources.

Here you can find the official Bokeh documentation page.
