Workarounds with Ubuntu

Remotely accessing jupyter notebooks

Running a jupyter notebook on the server and would like to access locally?

• Run the notebook as usual on the host machine but without browser

  
$ jupyter-notebook --no-browser --port 9999
  

• Forward the traffic from the host port to the local client port as follows:

  
$ ssh -N -L localhost:8888:localhost:9999 user@host_ip
  

• Run the jupyter notebook locally in the browser as follows:

  
localhost:8888
