# Meeting notes: Anson / Nebari

**Date: 12th Dec 2022**

**Attending: Anson, Eskild, Pavithra**

## Notes

- They have Nebari up and running
- Keycloak:
    - Base URL -- do we need to change it? Not needed.
- Dan sent Anson our way, CDS dashboard integration is super useful
- Alternative: vatlab/sos (expensive)
- jupyterlab extensions, from the extensions tab in JupyuterLab, esp. drawio
    - we can try adding it to conda-store (didn't work)
    - but we need to it differently -- working on it, early next year
- Native R Support
- Anson is working on:
    - vocdoni.app -- blockchain voting company, sequentch.io
- Need help with using Dask on Nebari: https://gist.github.com/iameskild/1a45cbd114595fa371d2d127448c5e33 (we can add this to the docs?)
    - dask dashboard -- need to login to keycloack to access the dashboard
    - Note, we ran into the dashboard bokeh version issue, needed to update the dask version
- Best way to upgrade Nebari
    - GitOps is the best way
- Keycloak setup worked great
- Jitisi, dashboard

## UX questions

Goal: Understand Anson's journey and pain points, so we can improve the Nebari installtion process and docs. :)

The following are just a guide/prompt, we can chat about whatever feels most important in the moment.

- How did you first come across Nebari? Did you consider any alternatives?
    - If you considered any alternatives - what features were missing in these?
- What type of tasks do you and your team do on a day to day basis?
- What's your background with JupyterHub?
- Usually, what's your primary/first Nebari resource? Example, docs-first or CLI/README first?
- Quick chat about journey: GitHub, Docs, CLI, support channels
    - How helpful/not were each of these?
    - How they find the information they need (search? issues? code?)
- Was the documentation helpful / useful for you to setup a new neabri instance? If not what was missing or needs clarification?
- How did you setup nebari: guided init, traditional init?
- Which were the most challenging tasks while setting up nebari?
- Was there anything that worked particularly well while setting nebari?
- Do you have any other impressions or feedback that you would like to share? Do you have any questions for us?
