How to connect to a remote Jupyter notebook server? [closed]

Question

I want to run a jupyter notebook server in a machine to which I have ssh access and that I am already able to run notebooks locally.

How can I setup the jupyter notebook so it can be accessed remotely?

Answer 1

If you have ssh access to the machine that will run the server, follow the next steps:

1) In the machine that you will run the server, execute:

jupyter notebook # To start the server with the default port forwarding (8888)

2) Take note of the notebook address: that will be shown to you in the terminal: http://localhost:8888/?token=<A_LONG_STRING_OF_NUMBERS_AND_LETTERS>

3) In the client machine, with remote access to the server:

ssh -N -L localhost:8888:localhost:8888 <server_username>@<server_ip>

4) Now, open the browser to use the following address: http://localhost:8888/?token=<THE_TOKEN>

Additional info (found here): It is possible to change the port on which the server is setup

# In the server
jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=8889

# In the client
ssh -N -L localhost:8888:localhost:8889 <server_username>@<server_ip>
