Introduction

The Jupyter Notebook is an interactive computing environment that enables users to author notebook documents that include: - Live code - Interactive widgets - Plots - Narrative text - Equations - Images - Video.

Jupyter notebooks are ideally suited for educational purposes only, however they have limitations across a network particularly with the graphical interface. The university does provide a jupyterhub service.

  • Important : If you wish to carry out serious python development consider changing to an interactive session and using a virtual environment within your account. If you wish to edit files on your local machine there are many IDEs which provide a means for transferring python file across to Viper seamlessly, examples of these are PyCharm and Visual Code. (All suitable for Linux, MacOS and Windows).

SSH Tunneling for Jupyter

It is possible to run Jupyter on a compute node and connect to the notebook from your desktop browser. In order to do this you need to 'tunnel' a connection from your desktop/laptop over SSH to the node that Jupyter is running on.

SSH Tunneling with MobaXterm

In MobaXterm tunnels are set up independently to an SSH connection. To set up a tunnel, open the Tunneling menu by either going to Tools > MobaSSHTunnel (port forwarding) from the top menu or Tunneling from the button bar. In the new MobaSSHTunnel window you can start an existing tunnel or add new tunnels, click New SSH Tunnnel. In the next window you want to set/select:

  • Local port forwarding
  • Under "Local clients" enter the port that you will point your local web browser to in "<Forwarded port>" for example 5050 (it doesn't have to be the same as the port your Jupyter notebook is running on on Viper, but it is easier if it is)
  • In "SSH server" enter "viper.hull.ac.uk" for SSH server and your username for "SSH login"
  • In "Remote server", under "<Remote server>" put the name of the compute node the Jupyter notebook is running on for example c048 (identify from squeue) and under "<Remote port>" enter the port your notebook is using, e.g. 5050 (either set manually or via your Jupyter config file).
  • Save

Sshtunnel.PNG

Once the tunnel is started you can point your local web browser to localhost:5050 Jupytertunnel.PNG

SSH Tunneling on Linux and Mac

To setup a port forwarding tunnel on Linux or Mac, simply run the following SSH command (replacing 5050 with your chosen port and c048 with your compute node name):

ssh viper.hull.ac.uk -L 5050:c048:5050

Again, you can then just point your browser to localhost:5050 to connect

Using jupyter configuration file

Jupyter notebook can be run using a configuration file to ease the number of command line option needed.

Defaults for these options can also be set by creating a file named jupyter_notebook_config.py in your Jupyter folder. The Jupyter folder is in your home directory, ~/.jupyter.

To create a jupyter_notebook_config.py file, with all the defaults commented out, you can use the following command line:

$ jupyter notebook --generate-config

Then for example add/modify the following lines to allow connection from any host, set a default port (5050 in this example), tell Jupyter not to try to open a browser, and set a default password.

c.NotebookApp.ip = '*'
c.NotebookApp.port = 5050
c.NotebookApp.open_browser = False
c.NotebookApp.password = u'sha1:a1d634eb9a3c:fa1e22d81b2b456be67d3b59810c335b33c223134'

To get your password you can use the following in python:

In [1]: from notebook.auth import passwd
In [2]: passwd()
Enter password:
Verify password:
Out[2]: 'sha1:a1d634eb9a3c:fa1e22d81b2b456be67d3b59810c335b33c223134'
