Prodigy annotation - Starting the web server at http://localhost:8080

[ines (Ines Montani)]

Hi! See here for the recommended approach:

Prodigy with https

I would recommend adding a reverse proxy in front that is restricted to only https connections. For instance, you would advertise the service on localhost, and have something like Nginx, Traefik or Apache communicating externally, via https.

If you're using Prodigy in Jupyterlab, see this thread:

jupyter-notebook: how to ssl the prodigy output?

I think the easiest solution would be to slightly tweak the uvicorn server in prodigy/app.py and add an SSL certificate (see the "Running with HTTPS" section here), so you can serve the Prodigy app via HTTPS. Then you'd be able to load it within an iframe on an HTTPS site. It might be as straightforward as adding two arguments for the SSL certificate to uvicorn.run. If that works, we can also easily add this as a feature to Prodigy, e.g. by accepting environment variables.
