Run Jupyter remotely

This page provides support on how to interact with a jupyter notebook that's running remotely on the workstation. This is particularly useful, for instance, when training a deep learning model from a jupyter notebook.

Before proceeding, you need to make sure to have a conda environment, and activate it.

Install jupyter in your environment:

conda install jupyter

Create a jupyter configuration file:

jupyter notebook --generate-config

Set up authentication for jupyter:

jupyter notebook password

Start the notebook (use a custom <PORT_NUMBER>):

jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=<PORT_NUMBER>

From your local machine, set up port forwarding:

ssh -N -f -L localhost:<LOCAL_PORT>:localhost:<PORT_NUMBER> ml_workstation

That's it. To access jupyter, just point your browser to http://localhost:<LOCAL_PORT>
