Preface

Sharing Jupyter Notebooks


Jupyter Notebooks can be shared by placing the notebook on a server (there are several kinds) or converting the notebook to another format (it will not be interactive, but the content will be available).

Sharing Jupyter Notebook on a notebook server

Built into the notebook configuration are extensions that can be used to expose a notebook server, directly. The notebook configuration can be generated using the following command:

Jupyter Notebook -generate-config

In the resulting jupyter_notebook_config.py file there are settings that can be used to set:

  • IP/port address of your notebook
  • Encryption certificate location
  • Password

By setting this and starting Jupyter you should be able to access the notebook at the IP address specified from other machines in your network.

Note

You should work with your network security personnel before doing so.
