A JupyterLab extension accompanying the PyPI package jupyter-server-proxy adding launcher items for configured server processes.
Jupyter Server Proxy lets you run arbitrary external processes (such as
RStudio, Shiny Server, Syncthing, PostgreSQL, Code Server, etc)
alongside your notebook server and provide authenticated web access to
them using a path like /rstudio
next to others like /lab
. Alongside
the python package that provides the main functionality, the JupyterLab
extension (@jupyterhub/jupyter-server-proxy
) provides buttons in the
JupyterLab launcher window to get to RStudio for example.
Note: This project used to be called nbserverproxy. As nbserverproxy is an older version of jupyter-server-proxy, uninstall nbserverproxy before installing jupyter-server-proxy to avoid conflicts.
The primary use cases are:
The documentation contains information on installation & usage.
Jupyter Server Proxy is often used to start a user defined process listening to
some network port (e.g. http://localhost:4567
) for a user starting a Jupyter Server
that only that user has permission to access. The user can then access the
started process proxied through the Jupyter Server.
For safe use of Jupyter Server Proxy, you should ensure that the process started by Jupyter Server proxy can't be accessed directly by another user and bypass the Jupyter Server's authorization!
A common strategy to enforce access proxied via Jupyter Server is to start Jupyter Server within a container and only allow network access to the Jupyter Server via the container.
