[DOC] Add conda install command

[fcollonval]

Hey,

The all stack is almost on conda-forge: https://github.com/conda-forge/jhsingle-native-proxy-feedstock https://github.com/conda-forge/bokeh-root-cmd-feedstock https://github.com/conda-forge/plotlydash-tornado-cmd-feedstock https://github.com/conda-forge/cdsdashboards-feedstock

Still missing r-shiny command: https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/pull/12075

And I don't like to add voila-materialstream as package should be as unitary as possible.

Two questions/comments:

• Would you like to be added as maintainer on the conda recipes? This normally only means to accept bot PR when a new version is out on pypi.org - with maybe the need to update dependencies.
• I follow the logic of jupyterhub for naming the conda packages; i.e. cdsdashboards and cdsdashboards-singleuser.
• I took the liberty to split the jupyterhub config into two blocks of code as it tricks me when I set this package up; missing the part that were common settings.

Thanks for all of this.

Yes please do add me as a maintainer - I think it makes sense, but for now I'm not planning to interfere :)

The docs changes are great, and I will check and copy into The Littlest JupyterHub setup too.

I recently changed voila-materialstream so that it doesn't actually install Voila anymore. So maybe this will be more acceptable now. But to be honest, voila-materialstream is a problem in general. If not installed then Voila dashboards will break by default... maybe it would be safest to drop voila-materialstream as a default template, but cdsdashboards is a lot of people's first introduction to Voila so I think it makes sense to make it look nice.

Perhaps I need to introduce an option in Voila upstream so that it just reverts to the default template if the specified one is not found.

Hey thanks for the quick answer. You should get some spam soon due to your new maintainer status 😉

I need to introduce an option in Voila upstream so that it just reverts to the default template if the specified one is not found.

Would it be easy to get the list of the available voila template and raise an error if the chosen one is not available?

From what I saw, voila templates are not Python packages (they don't contain any python code). So this may be a complex task.

It would be possible for e.g. jhsingle-native-proxy to check this, in the same way that Voila has to search for the template, but I think it would be best if Voila can handle this.
