Understand how fancy-profiles works with named servers #42

Open yuvipanda opened 1 month ago

Named servers save some state about the started server. What happens if we stop and start the named server, but using fancy profiles? What happens using regular profiles?

Currently, you can use various options to start (and that works), but then as soon as they stop, they are 'forgotten'. I had kinda assumed that the options_form code in jupyterhub would somehow 'save' that in state and restore, but I think it does not. Needs investigation to primarily answer the following questions:

  1. When options from profile form are posted, are they saved anywhere?
  2. If they are saved, are they restored somewhere?
