Large statefile with `baked_statefile = true` fails to open

I am stuck with the following error message for one of my notebooks
23 12 08T09:02:49

Funnily enough, the page loads just fine in some browsers (e.g. qutebrowser) but I get the above error message in others (e.g. firefox).

Any ideas?

Can you copy and paste the full contents of the page?

and could you say a bit more about what steps you took to get here?

jbrea commented

Thanks. Here is the url of the hosted notebook and this is the source and the Dockerfile.

Could it be that this happens when the statefile exceeds a certain size? I removed some of the embedded images and now the page seems to load fine.

Interesting! Yes the problem is probably that the statefile gets too big.

For PlutoSliderServer I would always recommend setting Export_baked_statefile = false, not sure why that's not the default.

That way, the statefile is stored in a separate file, instead of base64-encoded in a javascript string. Then there is no file size limit.

I think we should:

  1. Find out what the maximum size is and show an @error when it happens.
  2. Consider making baked_statefile=true the default
