A deployed notebook export is a directory whose index.json and declared
assets remain available at stable HTTP URLs. Verify the directory before upload,
then exercise the deployed consumer against the final origin.
Build the first notebook export, then serve its parent directory:
python -m http.server 8000 --bind 127.0.0.1 --directory disthttp://127.0.0.1:8000/report/index.json should return canonical JSON. Pass
http://127.0.0.1:8000/report/ to openExport().
Run the complete verifier before copying files:
uv run marimo-export verify dist/reportUpload or copy dist/report/ as one directory. Deploy the written export, not
the local export repository.
On POSIX systems, marimo-export creates directories with owner-only access and
files with owner read and write access. A static server running as another user
may need the deployment tool to assign its ownership or permissions. Apply that
policy after the final directory commit. --replace installs a new directory
and does not preserve the old directory's mode, owner, access-control lists, or
extended attributes.
The host must preserve paths and bytes exactly. It may compress responses in transit because readers verify the decoded body.
| Resource | Recommended cache policy |
|---|---|
Immutable asset under assets/ |
Long-lived immutable caching |
Versioned export instance index.json |
Long-lived immutable caching |
Replaceable standalone index.json |
Revalidate according to the application's freshness requirement |
Prepared manifest current route |
no-store or equivalent revalidation |
Serve the application and its export from one origin when possible. A separate
origin must allow the application origin through Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
(CORS). Use the browser
API's custom fetch option when requests require credentials or an origin
allowlist. Do not place bearer credentials in the export URL query because that
query is copied to every asset request.
Content Security Policy (CSP) controls resources that mounted outputs can execute or create.
| Representation | Policy capability that may be required |
|---|---|
| Embedded AnyWidget module | script-src blob: |
| AnyWidget module stored as a data URL | script-src data: |
| Remote AnyWidget module | Its HTTPS script origin |
| AnyWidget styles | Inline styles or another policy that accepts an inserted <style> element |
| Image loader | img-src blob: |
| Vega-Lite external data or images | Each declared network or image origin |
An AnyWidget module loaded from an HTTP URL remains outside the export asset
closure. The export verifies the stored URL record, while the remote server owns
the module bytes returned at mount time. A remote module must use a JavaScript
media type, allow the application origin through CORS, and satisfy the page's
HTTPS and request policies. The browser reader's custom fetch handles export
requests. It does not intercept AnyWidget module imports or Vega-Lite data and
image requests.
HTML loaders and marimo snapshot records return inert markup. Apply the application's sanitization and rendering policy before inserting that markup into the document.
openExport() validates canonical index.json. Loading an output verifies the
selected asset. NotebookExport.verify() and marimo-export verify read every
declared asset.
These checks prove consistency with index.json. Authenticate the publisher
through the deployment origin, signed release artifacts, or another mechanism
owned by your application. marimo computation-cache signing protects producer
cache restoration and is separate from notebook export authentication.
After upload:
- Open the application at desktop and narrow widths.
- Exercise every exported state and one interaction in each mounted output.
- Confirm that all notebook result requests use the deployed static origin.
- Confirm that exported state changes open no kernel or WebSocket connection.
- Inspect console errors and failed requests.
- Verify the same deployed directory through an independent download when the host can transform uploaded files.
Use Troubleshooting for CORS, CSP, integrity, state, and loader failures. Use Prepared publications when one mutable manifest must select among immutable deployed exports.
