Use these commands to run a jupyter server on a remote server and access it locally in a browser. You must have SSH access to the browser. Use any port you want.
Do not forget to change username@server to the correct value!
| where | using | command |
|---|---|---|
| server | terminal | jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=8888 |
| local | terminal | ssh -v -NL 8888:localhost:8888 username@server |
| local | browser | localhost:8888 |
This starts the jupyter notebook. Keep the terminal open or run it in the background using screen, tmux, nohup, etc.
jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=8888For example, you can start it in the background with screen.
screen -d -m -S JUPYTER jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=8888You can reattach to the screen session if need be. Use Ctrl+a+d to detach.
screen -r JUPYTERYou can stop the screen session altogether, killing the jupyter server.
screen -ls
screen -X -S JUPYTER quitThis creates an SSH tunnel. It makes localhost:8888 point to the server's 8888 port. Fill in the correct username@server!
ssh -v -NL 8888:localhost:8888 username@serverAgain, you can start it in the background with screen if you don't want to leave the terminal window open.
screen -d -m -S TUNNEL ssh -v -NL 8888:localhost:8888 username@serverThis is the web address you have to open in a browser on the local machine.
localhost:8888
Here are some useful screen commands. Use screen to run things in the background (like the jupyter notebook).
screen -ls # see whats running
screen -d -m -S NAME command # start a screen
screen -X -S NAME quit # stop a screen
screen -r NAME # attach to a screen
Thanks for writing this up.. I have been working in tmux/vim/ipython.. and now have to probably start using jupyter notebook, or qtconsole.
since you mentioned screen, I am assuming you are familiar with working in the terminal, vim etc. Is there run a jupyter notebook in a tmux/screen terminal multiplexer, while embedding images?
