Hi, and first of all, thank you so much for developing such a wonderful tool.
I wanted to ask whether WLJS supports connecting to a remote kernel. I know Mathematica can do this over SSH, but I’m not sure whether WLJS has similar functionality yet.
My laptop is not very powerful, so I usually run the Wolfram Engine on a remote Linux desktop. I was wondering whether WLJS could be used in a similar way to JupyterLab — for example, by hosting a WLJS server on the remote machine and then accessing it locally through SSH tunneling. Is this currently possible? I went through documentation and it's mentioned very shortly on here(https://github.com/WLJSTeam/wljs-notebook/blob/main/container/README.md) with nginx proxy, but it seems not very clear. Thanks!
