I am trying to embed bokeh interactive plots into the confluence. I believe it’s a way better than matplotlib static images on the website
Confluence itself is hosted locally on the server in laboratory, to which all researchers have access. Here is what I am struggling with:
What is the best workflow to run the bokeh server in order to host multiple applications/plots? I suppose that each of the experiments will be in separate directory (corresponding to wiki page) containing multiple files for various plots (embedded into confluence). But how can I run a single instance of server and allow it to find those directories automatically? I recall that whenever I did bokeh serve afile.py, once the file was changed, reloading the page didn’t update the plot to the latest version.
Is there an easier way to allow researchers to add their plots into some directory and then embed this into the page?
There is the intent to add a "develop" mode to the Bokeh server that would automatically reload app code when the source files change, but no one has had the bandwidth to look into implementing it yet, unfortunately. I would also not envision that mode being suitable for "production" deployments, but perhaps in a small lab setting it could be useful or OK. However, I'm not clear that this would cover your use-case as the intent was only that already-running apps would be monitored, not that new ones (which could be located anywhere on the filesystem) would also be loaded.
So in general my inclination is to recommend coordinating at a higher level. That is to say, just run a separate Bokeh server instance for every app (they are very lightweight. Think the Jupyter notebook server --- no one balks as running however many of those they need, but it is no less complicated than the Bokeh server) and have some other process monitor the file system and start/restart the Bokeh server instances as needed. There are various watchdog/supervisor projects that could be used to automate this in a robust fashion. Salt and Supervisord is some options but there are others.
But this would definitely be a little work to do. This "multi-user shared publishing" is specifically called out as the use case that a single Bokeh server is *not* very good for out of the box:
Apart from rolling your own infrastructure to coordinate things, there will likely very soon be commercial offerings around this use-case, which I'd be happy to discuss, if that is ever of interest.

Thank you very much for your response Bryan. I will go for multiple server - multiple application approach.

did you manage it? If yes, how did you include the bokeh plots in your confluence pages? I tried with the “html-include” makro, but it doesn’t show anything.
Same problem here. I generate the html file with bokeh. I would like to manually copy and paste the html code to a Confluence page with the html macro. However every time I d that the page crashes. I have the impression that the html macro does not allow a lot of scripting
I have zero experience with or access to confluence so I can’t advise directly. Execution of JS is a hard requirement for live Bokeh plots or apps. This link suggests that is possible:
If JS execution is not possible then only static PNG or SVG exports will be possible.
