Setting up jupyter lab on a ubuntu instance

Setting Up Jupyter Lab on an EC2

1. Install Jupyter Lab

conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab

2. Create certs

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

Doesn't matter what your inputs are.

3. Create a hashed password

In [1]: from notebook.auth import passwd
In [2]: passwd()
Enter password:
Verify password:
Out[2]: 'sha1:XXXXX'

4. Generate jupyter config

$ jupyter notebook --generate-config

$ vi ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py

Add this to bottom of config file:

c.NotebookApp.ip = '*'
c.NotebookApp.open_browser = False
c.NotebookApp.port = 8888
c.NotebookApp.password = 'XXX' # from step 3
c.NotebookApp.certfile = '/home/ubuntu/mycert.pem' # created in step 2

5. Launch jupyter lab

$ jupyter lab

6. IP Address

Grab it from the AWS console after you find your EC2 instance.
