jupyter notebook as a server

Prerequisite: A notebook configuration file

Check to see if you have a notebook configuration file, jupyter_notebook_config.py. the default location for this file is your Jupyter folder in your home directory, ~/.jupyter.

If you don't already have one, create a config file for the notebook using the following command:

$ jupyter notebook --generate-config

You can setup a password for your notebook server with a single command. it store at you jupyter_notebook_config.json file.

$ jupyter notebook password
Enter password: ***
Verify password: ***

also you can encrypt your password, in python environment:

from notebook.auth import passwd
passwd()

Enter password:
Verify password:

 'sha1:67c9e60bb8b6:9ffede0825894254b2e042ea597d771089e11aed'

if you want to openssl function:

$ openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout mykey.key -out mycert.pem

config your jupter_notebook_config.py file. I didn't use = u'xxx' options

# Set options for certfile, ip, password, and toggle off
# browser auto-opening
c.NotebookApp.certfile = u'/absolute/path/to/your/certificate/mycert.pem'
c.NotebookApp.keyfile = u'/absolute/path/to/your/certificate/mykey.key'
# Set ip to '*' to bind on all interfaces (ips) for the public server
c.NotebookApp.ip = '*'
c.NotebookApp.password = u'sha1:bcd259ccf...<your hashed password here>'
c.NotebookApp.open_browser = False

# It is a good idea to set a known, fixed port for server access
c.NotebookApp.port = 9999

run jupyter notebook command.
