Persistent use of Jupyter Notebook from remote server
The standard usage for persisting Jupyter server sessions is the use of nohup
and &
; in your remote server with IP address xx.xx.xx.xx
:
nohup jupyter notebook --no-browser --ip xx.xx.xx.xx --port yyyy &
Now, even if you switch off your laptop or lose the connection, you will be always able to reconnect by pointing your browser at xx.xx.xx.xx:yyyy
On the remote server, you should open your jupyter in a screen
session, it will make it persistent if you lose the connection to the server and resume it.
- On your computer:
ssh -L xxxx:localhost:yyyy server
. screen
.jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=yyyy
. [on remote server]- In your browser:
localhost:xxxx
.
To disconnect manually and reconnect:
- Exit the screen window:
control + a
and thend
. - Disconnect from the server:
control + d
- And reconnect
ssh -L xxxx:localhost:yyyy
. - Optionally, you can reopen the screen window, though unnecessary, using
screen -r
. - Go back to your notebook or reopen
localhost:xxxx
.
