I'm using dask.distributed on a remote machine accessible via SSH, and attempting to connect to the Dask dashboard. I remember it's worked before (in other virtual environments) when I was doing my first steps with Dask, but now any time I try to connect to http://localhost:8787/ or http://localhost:8787/status I get a "404 Not found" error.
Since the machine is only accessible via SSH I've set up an SSH tunnel to be able to access the dashboard using a browser from my desktop, and that gives me that 404 -- so somehow the server is working and accepting connections but not serving the pages. Also, connecting to it locally on the command line using lynx or telnet yields the same error. I'm also sure that nothing else is running on port 8787.
Are additional packages required for the dashboard to work? Here's my environment:
$ pip freeze
