Why I can't access remote Jupyter Notebook server?

Question

I have started a Jupyter Notebook server on my centos6.5 server.And jupyter is running like

[I 17:40:59.649 NotebookApp] Serving notebooks from local directory: /root [I 17:40:59.649 NotebookApp] 0 active kernels  [I 17:40:59.649 NotebookApp] The Jupyter Notebook is running at:https://[all ip addresses on your system]:8045/ [I 17:40:59.649 NotebookApp] Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels (twice to skip confirmation). 

When I want to access Jupyter remotely in the same local area network, say open http://192.168.1.111:8045/, I can't open a Jupyter page at all. By the way, I can access remote centos server successfully.

What's the possible reason?

Answer 1

Have you configured the jupyter_notebook_config.py file to allow external connections?

By default, Jupyter Notebook only accepts connections from localhost (eg, from the same computer that its running on). By modifying the NotebookApp.allow_origin option from the default ' ' to '*', you allow Jupyter to be accessed externally.

c.NotebookApp.allow_origin = '*' #allow all origins

You'll also need to change the IPs that the notebook will listen on:

c.NotebookApp.ip = '0.0.0.0' # listen on all IPs

Also see the details in a subsequent answer in this thread.

Documentation on the Jupyter Notebook config file.

Answer 2

I managed to get the access my local server by ip using the command shown below:

jupyter notebook --ip xx.xx.xx.xx --port 8888 

replace the xx.xx.xx.xx by your local ip of the jupyter server.
