Voila renders only on ‘Default / None’ env, i.e. only from base env

[congineer]

Describe the bug

Voila dashboard on any env other than the unspecified ‘Default / None’ times out without any traefik errors.

NOTE: plotlydash and streamlit dashboards do render with any custom env.

To Reproduce

1) TLJH install with Voila 3.* 2) /opt/tljh/config/jupyterhub_config.d/cdsdashboards.py with c.CDSDashboardsConfig.allow_custom_conda_env = True

Screenshots

1) ‘Default / None’. i.e. base env

2) any custom env

Configuration

TLJH, JupyterHub 1.5.1

/opt/tljh/config/jupyterhub_config.d/cdsdashboards.py
