JupyterHub Platform

A JupyterHub Platform is a notebook platform for Jupyter notebooks.

• Context:
  • It can spawn, manage, and proxy multiple instances of the single-user Jupyter Notebook Server.
• Example(s):
  • JupyterHub v1.5.0 (~2021-11-01) [1].

  • QUOTE: JupyterHub, a multi-user Hub, spawns, manages, and proxies multiple instances of the single-user Jupyter notebook server. JupyterHub can be used to serve notebooks to a class of students, a corporate data science group, or a scientific research group.
  • Three subsystems make up JupyterHub:
    • a multi-user Hub (tornado process)
    • a configurable http proxy (node-http-proxy)
    • multiple single-user Jupyter notebook servers (Python/IPython/tornado)
  • JupyterHub performs the following functions:
    • The Hub spawns a proxy
    • The proxy forwards all requests to the Hub by default
    • The Hub handles user login and spawns single-user servers on demand
    • The Hub configures the proxy to forward URL prefixes to the single-user notebook servers
