CSDMS has a JupyterHub!

https://csdms.rc.colorado.edu

It's free and available for all CSDMS members--students, faculty, researchers--to use.

What can you do with the CSDMS JupyterHub? Here are a few ideas:

  • Work on an assignment
  • Prototype and test Python code for a model
  • Run a model through PyMT or Landlab
  • Create a visualization for a journal article
  • Share a Notebook with colleagues
  • Deliver content for a multiuser workshop (like this and this)
  • Run a lab from the CSDMS EKT repository
  • Highlight your research and share it with others in the community by developing your own EKT lab
  • Access a Linux OS and shell

Of course, these are just suggestions. How do you think you'll use the CSDMS JupyterHub?

If you're new to using Jupyter Notebook, here are a few resources to help you start:

If you have questions, or if you'd like more information, please contact us through the CSDMS Help Desk.

Getting access to the CSDMS JupyterHub

Although the CSDMS JupyterHub is publicly available, it's password-protected. To get a login on the CSDMS JupyterHub, follow these steps.

  1. If you're not already a CSDMS member, sign up
  2. Create a login, providing a username and password--they can be whatever you like
  3. Request authorization for your new account through the CSDMS Help Desk--if you don't already have a GitHub account, you'll be asked to make one
  4. Once you're approved, sign in to the Hub!

Additional details (for those that are interested)

The CSDMS JuoyterHub runs on an AWS EC2 instance. By default, we use a small instance (specs), but for meetings or workshops, we can scale up to a larger instance. This costs more, of course.

For JupyterHub software, we're using The Littlest JupyterHub (tljh).

Can I use JupyterLab instead? Yes--show trick.
