Not able to create pubic link for databricks web app

[DataBeli]

I have created a web app in databricks.

the rule for hackathon says the ink to working demo shall be provided for judges.

The databricks webapp  or any other databricks artificate can not be made publicly accessible as per my knowledge. Also we can not create any generic email and password also.

So how can we provide public accessible link for judges?

Hi @DataBeli ,

From what I understand, in the Free Edition, Databricks Apps can only be shared with authenticated Databricks users. As public or anonymous access isn’t supported, you can try adding the judges’ email addresses to your workspace and then share the app with them by granting “CAN USE” permissions, they’ll be able to open the link after signing in.

Alternatively, you can run the app locally by copying the code into VS Code (or another IDE) and share that demo with the judges instead.

I agree, this shall be the logical approach.

But in hackathon docs, they have not provided email ids of the judges. 

They simply mentioned it shall be either public or the login creds shall be included.

Since today’s the last day, how are you planning to handle the submission?
Maybe the local deployment option could be a workable alternative for sharing your demo.
