Thanks! Notebooks on molab are public (but undiscoverable, like public GitHub gists), and can be shared with links. This is described here: https://marimo.io/blog/announcing-molab .

Is there anything you are doing to prevent these notebooks from being indexed by Google/etc? Gists will show up in google search results if they've been linked from anywhere that google happens to find. The robots.txt just has 'Allow: /'. I have no experience with Marimo so I guess I don't know the security model here.

I just turned off /notebooks in robots.txt

Our thoughts are the same as gists- Molab is built to share your work and give you a place to tinker. Please don't put your api keys in there

If your notebooks need keys, use mo.ui.text(kind=“password”), similar to the example from Hugging Face: https://molab.marimo.io/notebooks/nb_jpcTRt2jckij9iujuZ6NuZ

That doesn't actually stop pages being indexed.

Hi Akshay, it isn't clear from above writeup - is this open for self-hosting (I have an education usecase)? Couldn't find anything on this in the repo.

Hi! molab is not available for self-hosting. For self-hosting, you have a few options:

Use marimo open source. This can be self-hosted in the same way that Jupyter can. Repo: https://github.com/marimo-team/marimo

Use marimo's WebAssembly notebooks (exporting to WASM-powered HTML). For example, that's how Cloudflare is sharing marimo notebooks currently: https://notebooks.cloudflare.com/. Docs: https://docs.marimo.io/guides/exporting/#export-to-wasm-powe...

Use within JupyterHub: https://github.com/jyio/jupyter-marimo-proxy

I guess this is a persistent version of marimo.app ?

More than that. marimo.app runs in the browser with WASM. That makes for a snappy experience but is limited in RAM and what kinds of packages can be run. This runs Python on a traditional backend, letting you use any package and any more resources.
