QC dashboard on offline machines

[scott-huberty]

I just wanted to leave a note here for discussion, because I imagine it will come up at some point, particularly if @Andesha decides to implement pylossless on the clusters.

Since we are using dash-bootstrap-components, our CSS style sheets are being pulled from a server, and thus requires an internet connection.

There is a way to download and store/serve these locally (for example in an assets folder) for cases where the machine doesn't have internet access, but I've yet to look into this.

Yes, agreed, internet access should definitely be optional to run the pipeline and the QC...

As you'll need the internet at least one to install things (:laughing:) we can maybe just package in a small shell script that does a curl or wget? 🤔

yes I think this is a great idea!
