Running Jupyter notebook from ubuntu server I'm ssh'ed into

I'm trying to set up Spark on an ubuntu server. My preferred way to use spark is through a Jupyter notebook (pyspark).

When I run 

$ jupyter notebook

It starts it within the terminal. Ideally I'd like it to feed me a host address where I can access the Jupyter notebook from another computer (on the same network). Any ideas?

Solution

  • You could start the notebook server with

    jupyter notebook --ip='*' --no-browser

    which would allow access to the notebook server by visiting http://10.0.0.10:8888 in your browser, assuming that 10.0.0.10 is the IP address of the machine running the server.

    The --no-browser option will prevent the text browser from opening. Instead you should see the exact address you need to visit printed to the console.

    Be careful with that though, because this will allow access from all machines on your local network. So people on the same network may run arbitrary Python code on your host.
