access JupyterLab outside of localhost

[Alex Krok]

Hi Jupyter community,

I need help to configure my jupyterlab installation so I can access it outside of server

I have completed jupyterlab installation on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS using pip3 /python3 very recently, few day sago.

after I start jupyterlab with $jupyter lab 

it starts with no errors, and gives token

http://localhost:8888/?token=b107bbaa414e72996762e210dda4709f430f19d065913ebc

I can connect to server locally , ie with localhost

but not externally , ie outside of server using server public static IP 

when I request connection externally  on my laptop chrome web browser, ex with : http://123.45.67.89:8888 

I am getting error message is : 

This site can’t be reached

123.45.67.89 refused to connect

The question is how do I configure jupyterlab to be accessible outside of localhost? ie  http://123.45.67.89:8888

Thanks in advance

Alex

You need to configure your Jupyter server to listen to connections from all IPs, not just localhost.  One way to do this is to edit your ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py file (on the server) to include

    c = get_config()

    c.NotebookApp.ip = '*'

Note that this means anyone can access your server, so you may want to add password protection and SSL support.  More information is available here: http://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/public_server.html

Bob, please forgive my ignorant question I m very new to ubuntu(. if I install jupyter with sudo account where is ~/.jupyter folder?

[Alex Krok]

when I do ~$ cd ~/.jupyter

-bash: cd: /home/fincad/.jupyter: No such file or directory

[Alex Krok]

Bob, never mind my last question, google help to find .jupyter folder. it actually did not exist and I had to create it

your suggestion for ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py worked! Thanks a lot

Hi Alex,

Happy you solved your problem, I may be wrong but the ~/.jupyter
folder should have been created on startup I believe.

> if I install jupyter with sudo account where is ~/.jupyter folder?

Just as an advice, usually pip-installed packages should not be
installed with sudo or they may conflict with system software later
on. Usually you should be able to use `pip install --user` (and most
other commands will also have a --user option) to install software
only for your user.

As Robert said, we strongly advise users to setup a password and an
ssl certificate.

Enjoy,
