Launch a Dash app in a Google Colab Notebook

### Install ngrok
!wget https://bin.equinox.io/c/4VmDzA7iaHb/ngrok-stable-linux-amd64.zip
!unzip ngrok-stable-linux-amd64.zip

### Run ngrok to tunnel Dash app port 8050 to the outside world. 
### This command runs in the background.
get_ipython().system_raw('./ngrok http 8050 &')

### Get the public URL where you can access the Dash app. Copy this URL.
! curl -s http://localhost:4040/api/tunnels | python3 -c \
    "import sys, json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['tunnels'][0]['public_url'])"

Then launch your webapp on port 8050
