Jupyterhub password for azure dsvm setup with ssh login

Question

I setup an azure dsvm using ssh keys instead of a username/password combo. Now, I am not sure how to log into the Jupyter hub because its asking for a username and password. What should the password be since I never entered one.

Answer 1

JupyterHub does not support SSH keys, so you will need to set up a password on your local DSVM account to enable this login.

After ssh into the DSVM:

sudo passwd USERNAME NEWPASS

now try to login to jupyterhub with USERNAME NEWPASS as your credentials.

Alternatively, you might tunnel Jupyter over SSH: create a tunnel for, say, port 8080, run "jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=8080" remotely, then access the notebooks at "http://localhost:8080".
