A while ago, I wrote a post, “ ”. While that approach benefits from being easy to setup, but requires you to have key to access. This approach allows for multiple people to access the server with just a password. With that, here let’s just started. Setup and use Jupyter Notebook (IPython) Notebooks on AWS If you get lost, I recommend opening the in a separate tab. video Install Anaconda. If you don’t have it installed alreday, please see . AWS EC2: Install Anaconda on Linux Instance ssh to your EC2 instance. If you don’t know how to do this, please see the tutorial AWS EC2: Connect to Linux Instance using SSH. ssh -i /path_to_key/my_key.pem user_name@public_dns_name 2a. Type into the terminal. This will open ipython. ipython 2b. The following lines are used for password athentication to the jupyter server we will launch. from IPython.lib import passwd passwd() Out[2] will be different for you. It depends on what you enter for your password. 2c. After you verify your password, Be sure to save the output. 2d. type to exit out of ipython exit() 3. In the terminal, type jupyter notebook --generate-config mkdir certs cd certs sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout mycert.pem -out mycert.pem cd ~/.jupyter/ nano jupyter_notebook_config.py 4. Type c = get_config() c.IPKernelApp.pylab = 'inline' c.NotebookApp.certfile = u'/home/ubuntu/certs/mycert.pem' c.NotebookApp.ip = '*' c.NotebookApp.open_browser = False # Your password below will be whatever you copied earlierc.NotebookApp.password = u'sha1:941c93244463:0a28b4a9a472da0dc28e79351660964ab81605ae' c.NotebookApp.port = 8888 5. Exit out of the .py file and type the following into the terminal nohup jupyter notebook 6. To access your server, enter https://ip-address:port/ There is also alternative approach to do roughly the same thing that I would recommend if you can’t get this to work for you.
