Getting jupyterlab-prodigy to work on a google cloud platform VM

hi @sangersteel!

I'm curious. Did you get this error serving Prodigy in jupyter or terminal?

Related, if you shut down jupyter, are you able to serve Prodigy on port 8080?

Ideally you should be able to run on port 8080. While in theory the port shouldn't matter if you update everything else, I think if we can figure out why the port is in use we could err on defaults.

I'm not sure what that root process is. Would it be possible to kill that process?

However, others have found the problem is shutting down Prodigy in jupyter. Here's one approach:

Last three ideas... but I'm not confident they'll do anything:

  • Any chance you're running NGINX? If so, it could be the reason:
  • You should open through the launcher (red circle), did you try this?

  • what version of jupyterlab are you running? It should be 2.0.0 +.

Hopefully something above will help you but let us know if you still can't get things to work.
