Install and launch Jupyter Hub

Instructions can be found here:

• https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial/quickstart.html#quickstart
• https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/authenticators.html

1. Create a new folder
2. Create a file named jupyterhub_config.py and paste the below contents into that file
   1. Custom config to make auth easier, else you need use your login creds, which I guess you don't want to use.

# Configuration file for jupyterhub.

c = get_config()  #noqa
c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = 'jupyterhub.auth.DummyAuthenticator'
c.DummyAuthenticator.password = "pwd" # Feel free to change the default password
c.Spawner.args = ['--NotebookApp.allow_origin=*']
from jupyterhub.spawner import SimpleLocalProcessSpawner
c.JupyterHub.spawner_class = SimpleLocalProcessSpawner

3. Create a virtual env in this folder using Python extension
4. Install Jupyterhub using the CLI python -m pip install jupyterlab jupyterhub
5. Install the npm package configurable-http-proxy globally via the cli npm i -g configurable-http-proxy
6. Now start Jupyter Hub using the cli jupyterhub (ensuring the cwd in the terminal is the same folder in step 1 and your virtual env is in the same folder under .venv)
7. In the browser navigate to Jupyter Hub login page, genrally http://localhost:8000

Note:

• There is no need to log into JupyterHub
