Simple JupyterHub distribution for 1-100 users on a single server

The Littlest JupyterHub

The Littlest JupyterHub (TLJH) distribution helps you provide Jupyter Notebooks to 1-50 users on a single server.

Administrators who do not consider themselves 'system administrators' but would like to provide hosted Jupyter Notebooks for their students / users are the primary audience. All users are provided with the same environment, and administrators can easily install libraries into this environment without any specialized knowledge.

See this blog post for more information.

Development Status

This project is currently in beta state. Folks have been using installations of TLJH for more than a year now to great success. While we try hard not to, we might still make breaking changes that have no clear upgrade pathway.

Installation

The Littlest JupyterHub (TLJH) can run on any server that is running at least Ubuntu 18.04. Earlier versions of Ubuntu are not supported. 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
  • OVH
  • Google Cloud
  • Jetstream
  • Amazon Web Services
  • Microsoft Azure
  • ... 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!
