run jupyterhub without system users

[Luca Delucchi]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to jupyter, and I would like to use jupyterhub without create user in the system.

Is this possible? Maybe creating new Spawners?

Thanks a lot in advance
Luca

Hi Luca,

Welcome to the Jupyter community and thanks for your question.

I’m not exactly sure from your message what you are hoping to do with JupyterHub. If you could provide some additional detail about the use case, I could be more helpful to you.

We do have some resources on JupyterHub that may be helpful to you:

- JupyterHub tutorial [Repo](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub-tutorial) [YouTube presentation from PyData London](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSVvxOchT8Y&feature=youtu.be)

- JupyterHub documentation on ReadTheDocs https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

- JupyterHub Mini Workshop July 2016 materials https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub-2016-workshop contains presentations on many different uses/implementations of JupyterHub

Another project that may be interesting to you is Jupyter’s tmpnb (https://github.com/jupyter/tmpnb) which provides temporary notebook servers to users. This can be used as an alternative to JupyterHub when anonymous, ephemeral notebooks are desired.

I need to use JupyterHub for a course, I would like to have multiuser but I don't want to create several user on my OS. Probably I could use docker but if it possible I would like to don't use this solution

I already read something and I plan to look the London presentation ASAP. Thank to all the useful links

also this could be an idea but it use docker....

Hi Luca,

A few more suggestions since it seems you wish to use JupyterHub for teaching a course but would like to avoid using Docker.

1. Jupyter in Education mailing list has a helpful group of people using Jupyter and JupyterHub for teaching. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/jupyter-education

2. We do have a reference deployment of JupyterHub https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub-deploy-teaching. The main use case targeted is small to medium groups of trusted users working on a single server. It does not use Docker.

I’m glad you plan to watch the PyData London talk. It’s one of the best tutorial for understanding and deploying JupyterHub that I have seen.

Good luck.

Carol

Using docker is generally the easiest way to run JupyterHub without creating system users. Notebooks always run as a particular user in the context where the server runs, so if you don't use docker, this means that the notebooks must run as a user on the host system. You can avoid creating system users for each Hub user, but you still need at least one user for the processes to run as. You could run all of the notebooks as the same user, but then all of your users will have the ability to interact with each other's files. Jupyter does not provide any tools for user isolation, it always relies on existing system-level tools to do this. The simplest way is unix system users. Other ways include creating an isolated context (remote machines, VMs, docker containers, etc.) in which to run each user's notebook server, via selecting or implementing the appropriate Spawner.
