This tutorial documents the way to set up access to Jupyter Lab or Jupyter Notebook on your remote server from your local computer.
Set up password
On your server,
jupyter notebook --generate-config
jupyter notebook password
Enter your password of choice.
Using SSL for encrypted communication
cd ~/.jupyter
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout mycert.pem -out mycert.pem
Change public notebook server configuration
Open ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py with a text editor (ex. vi) and add the following lines
# Set options for certfile, ip, password, and toggle off
# browser auto-opening
c.NotebookApp.certfile = u'~/.jupyter/mycert.pem'
c.NotebookApp.keyfile = u'~/.jupyter/mycert.pem'
# Set ip to '*' to bind on all interfaces (ips) for the public server
c.NotebookApp.ip = '*'
c.NotebookApp.password = u'sha1:bcd259ccf...<your password of choice here>'
c.NotebookApp.open_browser = False
# Set a known, fixed port for server access
c.NotebookApp.port = 9999
Run Jupyter Lab or Notebook
jupyter lab
or
jupyter notebook
Forward remote port to loacalhost
ssh -N -f -L 8888:localhost:9999 [email protected]
Access from local browser
Open a browser on your local computer and navigate to https://localhost:8888/.
