Access static directory when using Bokeh as a library

Question

I am trying to make a bokeh server that servers the same view to all people connecting. I have been able to achieve this using the Bokeh in library mode using the following code:

from tornado.ioloop import IOLoop
from bokeh.server.server import Server
from bokeh.plotting import curdoc

io_loop = IOLoop.current()
server = Server(applications={'/myapp': self.make_document},
                io_loop=io_loop,
                allow_websocket_origin=['{0}.com:5001'.format(
                    hostname.lower()), 'localhost:5001'],
                port=5001,
                )
  
server.start()
server.show('/myapp')
io_loop.start()

Run with python main.py, but I cannot access the static directory /myapp/static.

If I instead do:

self.make_document(curdoc())

And start myapp using bokeh server --show myapp I can access static just fine, but each new browser tab connecting gets a new view.

Is there a way to access static in library mode? Or a way to serve the same view to all connecting and still use bokeh document mode.

Found answer in Bokeh Tornado Embed Example

from tornado.web import StaticFileHandler
from tornado.ioloop import IOLoop
from bokeh.server.server import Server
from bokeh.plotting import curdoc

io_loop = IOLoop.current()
server = Server(applications={'/myapp': self.make_document},
                io_loop=io_loop,
                allow_websocket_origin=['{0}.com:5001'.format(
                    hostname.lower()), 'localhost:5001'],
                port=5001,
                extra_patterns=[
                    (r'/mydir/(.*)', StaticFileHandler, {'path': 
                    os.path.normpath(os.path.dirname(__file__) + '/mydir')})],
                )
  
server.start()
server.show('/myapp')
io_loop.start()

Here the mydir needs to be in the myapp directory and not the parent one.
