JupyterHub: Difference between revisions

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<ref>http://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html, JupyterHub documentation</ref>.

In Compute Canada context, JupyterHub removes the requirements for users to install their own version of [[Jupyter]] Notebook and for users to create an SSH tunnel with the server to proxy the web connection. JupyterHub handles these two requirements allowing the users to connect to Jupyter Notebook using only a recent web browser.

== Initiatives in Compute Canada == <!--T:4-->

There are a few regional initiatives in Compute Canada to offer access to computing resources through JupyterHub.

* The [https://www.pims.math.ca Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Science] in collaboration with Compute Canada and [http://www.cybera.ca Cybera] offer cloud-based hubs to universities and schools<ref>https://www.computecanada.ca/featured/compute-canada-and-pims-launch-jupyter-service-for-researchers/, Compute Canada and PIMS launch Jupyter service for researchers</ref>. Each institution can have its own hub where users authenticate with their credentials from that institution. The hubs are hosted on the Compute Canada [[Cloud]] and are essentially for training purposes. Institutions interested in getting their own hub can visit [http://syzygy.ca http://syzygy.ca].

* Calcul Québec hosts a hub [https://jupyter.calculquebec.ca/ https://jupyter.calculquebec.ca] that provides access to notebook servers spawned through jobs on two of Université Laval's HPC systems: [https://wiki.calculquebec.ca/w/Colosse Colosse] and [https://wiki.calculquebec.ca/w/Helios Helios]. To authenticate on this hub, users are required to have an account at Calcul Québec and access to either Colosse or Helios.
