Set up jupyter notebook server on ec2

Set up jupyter notebook on ec2. Here is a great article.

One thing to notice is that now, when setting up .jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py, c.NotebookApp.ip = '*' should be c.NotebookApp.ip = '0.0.0.0'

The other thing is that, when create ssl certificate, use this command openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout "cert.key" -out "cert.pem" -batch, so you do not need to enter specific questions. And doing this without sudo will get rid of the PermissionError.

If we use sudo to generate the certificate, only root user can use this certificate. While our anacaconda is for user ubuntu

If we generate cert.key and cert.pem separately, we need edit the .jupyter\jupyter_notebook_config.py like this:

c = get_config()  # Get the config object.
c.NotebookApp.certfile = u'/home/ubuntu/ssl/cert.pem' # path to the certificate we generated
c.NotebookApp.keyfile = u'/home/ubuntu/ssl/cert.key' # path to the certificate key we generated
c.NotebookApp.ip = '0.0.0.0'  # Serve notebooks locally.
c.NotebookApp.open_browser = False  # Do not open a browser window by default when using notebooks.
c.NotebookApp.password = 'sha1:fc216:3a35a98ed980b9...'   # your own password hash just generated

And we can open the port 8888 later after the runing of the instance.

We can use nohup linuxcommand & to run the notebook process at background.

• & means run at background

• nohup means ignore the hungup signal sent by terminal when we close it.
