Gitpod: how to open jupyter notebook from gitpod terminal?

[XinYaanZyoy]

when I run
jupyter notebook

it runs but there's kernel error!

so, instead of using pyenv(which is installed by default gitpod image) i installed anaconda!

but even in this case there's something wrong either in access permission or kernel thing!

have anybody opened, edited and pushed a ipynb from gitpod??

Hi @XinYaanZyoy! Running the notebook server in a workspace, or at least being able to connect to a hub is a nice idea.

Can you share a repo with the dockerfile included?

[XinYaanZyoy]

you mean, repo with notebooks and dockerfile?
which dockerfile are we actually pointing to here btw!?

i've .gitpod.dockerfile and dockerfile(repo app)
is it sufficient?

I missed the repo URL.

Looking at the notebook server logs I see the default config of the notebook server has strict CORS rules. cf. [W 11:37:21.661 NotebookApp] Blocking Cross Origin API request for /api/terminals. Origin: https://8888-e0e6622d-1fda-4c01-a335-86765b453364.ws-eu0.gitpod.io, Host: localhost

You can use this command to tell the notebook server to allow your workspace location to access the API:

jupyter notebook --NotebookApp.allow_origin=\'$(gp url 8888)\'

[AlexTugarev]

Another issues is that you actually should get to the proper workspace URL when following the localhost URL from

[C 11:36:55.355 NotebookApp] 

    Copy/paste this URL into your browser when you connect for the first time,
    to login with a token:
        http://localhost:8888/?token=a374b15a80549c0462aedad483ff897ed450c89913bdecdc

Checking this separately.

@XinYaanZyoy you might be interested in following https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/711

[XinYaanZyoy]

@AlexTugarev thank you so much!
this solves it!

by the way is there any config file to configure Notebook.allow_origin??

[AlexTugarev]

i think the problem is in the way gitpod is configured for python!

Can you tell me, what's wrong with it? What do you miss there? We're happy improve.

Regarding the localhost URL which get clear in #711: we want to make ctrl + click on localhost:8888 open the actual workspace port URL.

by the way is there any config file to configure Notebook.allow_origin??

Please configure the notebook server to you needs as described in https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config.html

Starting with ...

jupyter notebook --generate-config

[AlexTugarev]

Closing this as there is no action required. Open new issues if something is unclear 🙏

BTW with newly added python extension and installing notebook server by default in the workspace-full image we're getting closer to a nice OOTB experience 🎉

any workaround ?
