Jupyter

Installing The Littlest Jupyter Hub

  1. Start an instance using nectar or jetstream
  2. You don’t need a user account. Possibly
  3. Install jupyterhub:
curl -L https://tljh.jupyter.org/bootstrap.py | sudo python3 -  --admin rob
  1. Allow users to create usernames and passwords:
tljh-config set auth.type nativeauthenticator.NativeAuthenticator
tljh-config reload
  1. Create a username using the web interface
  2. Authorize those users:
add /hub/authorize to your URL. e.g.
http://203.101.227.65/hub/authorize
  1. Install R and Python
apt install r-base nodejs
  1. Start R and install ir-kernel
$ R
> install.packages('IRkernel')
> IRkernel::installspec(user = FALSE)
> quit()

Usermanagement:

If you are having issues with user management you can cheat and get into the SQLIte database

sqlite3  /opt/tljh/state/jupyterhub.sqlite
#find the schema for the user tables
.tables
.schema users_info
CREATE TABLE users_info (
        id INTEGER NOT NULL,
        username VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL,
        password BLOB NOT NULL,
        is_authorized BOOLEAN,
        login_email_sent BOOLEAN,
        email VARCHAR(128),
        has_2fa BOOLEAN,
        otp_secret VARCHAR(16),
        PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

Find out about a user:

select * from users_info;

Authorise a user:

update users_info set is_authorized=1 where username='rob';
select * from users_info;

Should be good to go now!
