Development Status

This project is currently in alpha state. Most things work, but we might still make breaking changes that have no clear upgrade pathway. We are targeting a v0.1 release sometime in mid-August 2018. Follow this milestone to see progress towards the release!

Installation

The Littlest JupyterHub (TLJH) can run on any server that is running at least Ubuntu 18.04. We have a bunch of tutorials to get you started!

• Tutorials to create a new server from scratch on a cloud provider & run TLJH on it. These are recommended if you do not have much experience setting up servers.
  • Digital Ocean
  • Google Cloud
  • Jetstream
  • ... your favorite provider here, if you can contribute!
• Tutorial to install TLJH on an already running server you have root access to. You should use this if your cloud provider does not already have a direct tutorial, or if you have experience setting up servers.

Documentation

Our latest documentation is at: https://the-littlest-jupyterhub.readthedocs.io

We place a high importance on consistency, readability and completeness of documentation. If a feature is not documented, it does not exist. If a behavior is not documented, it is a bug! We try to treat our documentation like we treat our code: we aim to improve it as often as possible.

If something is confusing to you in the documentation, it is a bug. We would be happy if you could file an issue about it - or even better, contribute a documentation fix!
