Is there any way to open a particular notebook as the default page when Livebook starts?

I've made a Docker container based on the official Livebook container, with various notebooks I'd like to demo in /data.

They can be opened by the user with open button but I'd prefer to have one of them open immediately, as an index page.

Is this possible? I've tried adding the file location as the first argument to the livebook command but that doesn't seem to work

I've tried:

CMD ["/app/bin/livebook", "start", "overview_notebook.livemd" ]
CMD ["/app/bin/livebook", "start", "file:/data/overview_notebook.livemd" ]

It's not a major problem but would be convenient.

There is no way to pre-open a notebook, but for what you're describing it would also require redirecting / to the notebook page, and we definitely don't want to replace the homepage :)

It is possible to open a notebook by going to a specific URL, but this assumes you know the base URL, which is tricky with Docker and port binding. The path would be like /open?path=/data/overview_notebook.livemd.

Thanks - that sounds like a better approach. It did occur to me after asking this that if the user is too new to manage the open button, they're going to need the info on the homepage.
