Recommended cylc gui options #478

Open jfrost-mo opened 7 months ago

jfrost-mo commented 7 months ago

By default cylc gui runs a localhost webserver and beings up a browser on the same machine. While this often works, for non-graphical systems it would be better to use cylc gui --ip=0.0.0.0 --no-browser so that the gui can be opened on a machine with a browser.

Is a non-graphical interactive linux environment common?
Is this too confusing for people who have a graphical environment?
Should we document both methods?
Should we just point to cylc documentation for this?

The recommended option is to use cylc hub, but is that too much setup?

There is also the cylc tui for cli usage.

After the recent improvements I'm tempted to signpost cylc tui. We probably should just keep the cylc gui to the default invocation however, as opening up your cylc tasks to anyone on the network isn't great for security.
