JupyterHub - Shared Projects

[testb...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Could anyone please clarify on the below? I have installed Ananconda3.7 that comes with JupyterHub.

1. When I login to JupyterHub, I see the notebooks that are in my home directory. Is this the standard recommended location to store the private notebooks?

2. I'm working with two other users on the same project and using the same notebook. How can we share the notebook and what is the location to store the shared notebooks?

3. If I update a notebook, will other users be able to modify it if it is in a shared location? If so, how can we merge the content?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, your home directory is a standard place to store your own files.

You can use shared folders with shared permissions. One version of this is to create a shared directory that is group- or world-writable. This is often a directory next to your home, such as `/home/shared`. You can include a symlink to this from your home directory.

 

3. If I update a notebook, will other users be able to modify it if it is in a shared location? If so, how can we merge the content?

If you make a shared notebook, anyone with permission to edit that file will be able to change it. If you are using the current Jupyter notebook, you will not see any changes from another user until you re-open the edited notebook. With this model, you **must not** both be editing the file at the same time. It is the same model as any existing text editor for a file on the filesystem - if you and another both open the same file, you won't see each others' edits until you close and re-open the file.

Thanks in advance!
