How to run CellNEST_interactive on a remote server without xdg-open, and access via browser URL/port ? #22

Description

@Sawakotx

I encountered the same issue when testing CellNEST_interactive using the following command:

!singularity run --home /data/project/singularity_images/CellNEST \
    /data/project/singularity_images/cellnest_container/cellnest_image.sif \
    bash cellnest interactive CellNEST-interactive-main/ 8080 server/data/files/

The output is:

Starting backend. See the logs in run_server.log
Saved: /data/project/singularity_images/CellNEST/CellNEST-interactive-main/server/data/files/
Starting frontend. See the logs in run_front.log
Starting default web browser to view the interactive output. See the logs in browser_open_msg.log
Write STOP to stop the process:
nohup: redirecting stderr to stdout
nohup: failed to run command 'xdg-open': No such file or directory

It seems the process is attempting to open a default web browser via xdg-open, but the command is not available in my environment.
How can I run CellNEST_interactive without requiring a local GUI/browser, and instead access it through a URL or port from a remote server?
