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

Once the tensorboard is launched you can also see 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 notebook you can see the progress of the run live! You can watch in a separate browser tab.

How?

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

The tensorboardserverextension.py file, which is run by jupyter server on start up, is responsible for launching the tensorboard server.
