This is the seventh part of a multi-part series that shows how to set up Jupyter Hub for a college class. In this post, we build a pre-spawn hook that creates an "assignments" and "notes" directory with pre-constructed assignments and notes for each JupyterHub user. We also build a custom login pages that looks much more like our college login page and contains helpful links.

This is the sixth part of a multi-part series that shows how to set up Jupyter Hub for a college class. In this post, we will set up jupyterhub to run as a system service in the background which will allow us to work on the server and run jupyterhub at the same time. Then we will add an authentication system so that users can log into our Jupyter Hub server using github usernames and passwords. Finally we will modify the authentication system so that users can log into our Jupyer Hub server using their google usernames and passwords. The same user name and password a student uses to access their college email.

This is the fifth part of a multi-part series that shows how to set up Jupyter Hub for a college class. In this post, we are going to link a domain name to our server IP address, add SSL security and configure nginx to run as a proxy in between users and jupyterhub. Then we'll run jupyterhub over https using the SSL security we created.

This is the fourth part of a multi-part series that shows how to set up Jupyter Hub for a college class. The goal is to have a running version of Jupyter Hub that students in the class can log into when given a simple web link. In this post, we'll get to the fun stuff: installing jupyterhub on the server, installing Python packages and spinning up Jupyter Hub for the first time.

This is the third part of a multi-part series on how to set up Jupyter Hub for a class. My goal is to have a running version of Jupyter Hub that students can access using a simple web link. I am primarily writing to my future self as I may need to set up Jupyter Hub again for a future class. In this post, we are going to create a new Digital Ocean server (called a droplet) and create a non-root user with sudo privileges. Then we'll SSH into the droplet with PuTTY as the non-root user.
