500 / 404 error on using docker spawner

Aha! I found a trace in the log:

What's your JupyterHub config? Which authenticator are you using for JupyterHub?

[yuvipanda]

I'm using the sample GitHub OAuth authenticator. https://gist.github.com/yuvipanda/08e06376ddb98f21a8c4 is the config. It works now after I fiddled around a bit - I set the ip address explicitly in the config, and also rebuilt the standalone docker container. Unsure which fixed it.

[jhamrick]

I suspect setting the IP address explicitly in the config is what fixed it -- because the hub passes it's IP address along to the containers so they can communicate with the hub. The default is localhost, I think, but localhost inside the containers isn't the same as localhost for the rest of the machine (unless the containers are run with --net=host, but I think they're not). So, they need to have the real IP address to be able to connect.

Anyway, glad you were able to fix it!

[yuvipanda]

Yup, containers are not run with --net=host, so that won't work.

Thanks!

[netoisc]

Thanks @jhamrick !, I had the same problem when I launched the jupyterHub service. But now, I have my JupyterHub running 👍 . First, I executed the ifconfig command in the host, after that, I only had to change the line 'c.JupyterHub.hub_ip' with my ip and run again.

[anaderi]

I happen to stuck with this even after changing c.JupyterHub.hub_ip to host. Until I've removed already created containers (seem hub address is cached at the creation time and those are using 'localhost' even after restart)

[kynan]

I can confirm the behavioru @anaderi is seeing: any containers need to be removed.
