Hi,

This is to report, how easy and effective to use Jupyter Notebooks and JupyterHub in an GIS workshop.

1. Docker image jupyter/scipy-notebook was used and Python libraries needed for workshop was installed on the image, this was important to avoid jupyterhub based errors running on a custom image.  

1. Followed this tutorial [Zero to JupyterHub with Kubernets](https://zero-to-jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) in Google cloud Platform, the file config.yaml is as follows.

```

singleuser:

  storage:

    type: none

  memory:

    limit: 2G

    guarantee: 1G

  image:

    name: airpollutionstudyindia/foss-pt-gsa

    tag: version8

auth:

  type: github

  github:

    clientId: ""

    clientSecret: ""

    callbackUrl: ""

  admin:

    users:

      - nishadhka

  whitelist:

    users:

      - nishadhka

proxy:

  secretToken: ""

  service:

    type: LoadBalancer

    loadBalancerIP: IP_ADDRESS

  https:

    hosts:

        - DOMAIN_NAME

    letsencrypt:

        contactEmail: YOUR_EMAIL

```

1. There is a need to setup the ```proxy``` as of the config.yaml above to have https security for the instance,   

1. Other than glitch with cluster and memory limitation error for a portion of participants which are totally related with provisioning cluster resources, workshop went smoothly with participants able to run the workshop notebooks.   

Thank you very much. 

Regards,

Nishadh
