Livebook is a development environment by default, so it doesn’t have a way to auto-deploy apps without technical knowledge.
That said, we created the Livebook Apps feature for a use case like yours. Once you develop a Livebook app, you can deploy it, so its users don’t have to install Livebook, they can access your deployed app through their browser.
You can deploy apps in two ways:
- via a Docker container
- via Livebook Teams
Here’s a demo of deploying a Livebook app in both ways:
All that said, there’s one way Livebook can automatically boot apps saved in a specific dir, set by the env var LIVEBOOK_APPS_PATH. Still, it doesn’t look like this is a good option for your use case.
My suggestion would be Livebook apps deployed with Docker or with Livebook Teams.
