labnotes

Browse experiment designs, notes, and run data from a folder.

uvx labnotes server

labnotes reads two folders, named in a .labnotes.toml at the project root:

experiments = "experiments"
data = "data"

Both keys are optional and default to the values above. Paths are relative to .labnotes.toml, or absolute, or start with ~. labnotes reads the file from the working folder, or from the path given with -c.

  • experiments holds one subfolder per experiment, each with a design.yaml (with a study key) and any number of markdown notes.
  • data holds the run data and a .dirsql.toml that declares a runs table with a study column. An experiment's runs are the rows whose study matches its design's.

That serves a local site at http://127.0.0.1:8000: a table of experiments, and a page per experiment with its parameters, its notes, progress per cell of the design grid, and every run so far. Both folders are watched, so a reload shows new runs and edited notes.

design.yaml keys the site reads: study, fixed, varies (each key a list of values), runs_per_cell, and completed_run, a SQL condition over the runs table that marks a run as complete. Anything else shows up as-is.

-h/--host and -p/--port change where it listens; -h 0.0.0.0 (or a Tailscale IP) serves beyond localhost. Every other uvicorn option passes through: --reload, --workers, --proxy-headers, --root-path, the --ssl-* set, and the rest. labnotes server --help lists them. --experiments-folder and --data-folder, or LABNOTES_EXPERIMENTS_FOLDER and LABNOTES_DATA_FOLDER, override .labnotes.toml.
