I released a new version of my Debian packaging for JupyterHub (https://github.com/1and1/debianized-jupyterhub#jupyterhub-debian-packaging). It makes the installation of a fully working hub on a Debian or Ubuntu server easy, with everything already installed and compiled (no build tools needed).

The package comes with a fully equipped Python3 kernel – the scientific Python stack and common visualization frameworks are built in. All additional packages beyond the JupyterHub core are organized into setuptools ‘extras‘. You can select them for inclusion (many are added by default), or remove unneeded ones to reduce the package size, by changing the “debian/rules” file.

On an Ubuntu / Debian workstation, using this package you get readily available notebooks for personal use, without the need to start a notebook server on the command line every time you want to edit a notebook.

Technically, this is a self-contained Python3 venv wrapped into a Debian package (an "omnibus" package, all passengers on board). You can build the package in a Docker container, so that you don't need to worry about installing build dependencies – the Dockerfile does that for you, without affecting your workstation or build host.

For more details, check out the GitHub README (see link above).


Changes since 0.9.4-3:

  * Extras: Added 'docker', 'nlp', 'ml', 'utils', and 'vizjs' (included by default)
  * Extras: Added 'arrow', 'nltk', and 'parquet' (optional)
  * notebook: update to 5.7.6 (CVE-2019–9644); also updated other explicit requirements
  * Tornado: kept at 5.x because of compatibility problems
  * Packaging: Switched to built-in Python3 venv

Congrats ! and Thanks !

May I suggest posting this as well in our discourse under the jupyterhub category ? 


I'm guessing you could also send PRs to jupyterHub to add your name in the team-compas, and install instructions linking to this possibility ? 
I'm going to guess if you want to make a small announcement on our blog and if the JupyterHub team agrees we could do this as well to make users more aware of the debian package.

Once the below notebook is a bit more complete, it could be easily made into a blog post showing what the package can be used for.
