Jupyter at NCEAS

[jki...@nceas.ucsb.edu]

Hi everyone,

I'm a scientific programmer at UC Santa Barbara's National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). I've been using Jupyter Notebooks for quite a while and, more recently, JupyterLab on a local installation. We've been running Jupyter Hub on one of our analytical servers, but we're about to upgrade the OS and we'll need to reinstall afterwards. We're looking into trying to get the Jupyterlab-hub extension working.

I'm hoping that you can point me toward the latest installation and configuration instructions and, if at all possible, suggest an appropriate contact on the Jupyter project that I could put in touch with our sys-admin if he hits any snags along the way. I'm okay at using Jupyter, but I run out of answers really fast when it comes to configuring it for lots of users on our server.

Thanks in advance!

Depending on the scale of your setup check out:

https://the-littlest-jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

or

https://zero-to-jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

They are actively maintained and used by a lot of people.

I strongly recommend you start using the forum and chat for your
questions (https://discourse.jupyter.org/ and
https://gitter.im/jupyterhub/jupyterhub respectively). I hang out
there too. By using a public forum you get faster response times and
ideas from everyone who reads it, not just one person. It also helps
build up the knowledge of the community.

If you prefer or require confidential/dedicated advice there are
several companies that offer consulting services around JupyterHub.

Thanks Tim!

I'll pass this on to our sys-admin, and it's great to know what chats and forums the Jupyter team is using. We'll jump in there if we get stuck.

Thanks again,

Jared
