• For JupyterLab RTC, there is a primitive plugin to get a link with a token that can be used to share access. This plugin fail for use in the JMTE JupyterHub as the token don't show up as can be traced to a file not showing up in a folder. When and why is such file created, and why isn't it created when we start our user server via jupyterhub-singleuser in the JMTE deployment?
  Token set to an empty string as /servers returned an empty string - why? jupyterlab-contrib/jupyterlab-link-share#10
