An idea for improving usability of WHEEL: to provide WHEEL and Jupyter separately #6

Open ToshiyukiHR opened 4 years ago

Dear developers,
Thanks for providing such a nice workflow tool.
I have an idea related to the operation of WHEEL.
I think It would improve the usability of WHEEL to do the followings:

  1. to provide WHEEL only, i.e., excluding Jupyter from the docker image,
  2. to add an interface that links WHEEL to other services launched on different containers.

Currently, the docker image for WHEEL includes Jupyter.
From the viewpoint of serviceability and microservice-like operation of docker containers, it would be better to provide these services (i.e. WHEEL and Jupyter) separately.

By providing them separately and adding a certain interface that links WHEEL to other services, WHEEL could get high scalability that it can cooperate with any other service as well as Jupyter.

I would be glad if you consider the above idea for improvements to WHEEL.

Sincerely yours,
ToshiyukiHR

I think one candidate for the above-mentioned interface is "bookmark", that is, users register the addresses (or port) of other services to WHEEL as like as bookmarking a website.
Any file format can be used to save the registered addresses.
